A decorative outline serif with double-line construction that traces the outer contour while echoing an inner line to create an airy, hollowed letterform. Strokes are consistently thin with gentle modulation and a slightly calligraphic feel, while terminals often finish in small curls or ball-like flicks. Capitals keep classical proportions with soft, flared serifs and occasional swash-like gestures (notably on letters such as J, Q, and R), and the lowercase maintains a compact, short x-height with lively ascenders and descenders. The overall rhythm is open and spacious, with rounded joins and smooth curves that keep the outlines readable even as ornamentation increases.
Best suited to display sizes where the outline detail can remain crisp—headlines, titles, posters, and short featured phrases. It also fits themed applications such as book covers, boutique packaging, event invitations, and branding that benefits from a whimsical vintage accent rather than dense body text.
The font conveys a playful, nostalgic tone—part Victorian display, part fairy-tale lettering. Its outlined construction and curled details feel theatrical and charming rather than formal, suggesting a crafted, slightly eccentric personality suited to decorative typography.
Designed to offer a decorative serif with an outline/inline look that adds texture and charm without heavy weight. The intent appears to balance legibility with ornament through restrained contrast, soft serifs, and small swash-like terminals that give words a distinctive, storybook presence.
The inline/outline detailing becomes a key texture in words, creating a lace-like color on the page. Figures follow the same double-line logic, with simple, slightly old-style shapes that match the friendly serifed character of the letters.
