A decorative inline outline with monoline outer contours and a consistent inner line that creates a hollowed, double-stroke effect through most stems and curves. Forms lean geometric with clean circular bowls (O, Q) and tall, narrow proportions, while terminals stay crisp and unbracketed. Curves are smooth and controlled, and joins tend to be sharp, giving the alphabet a precise, engineered rhythm. Spacing reads open and even, with clear counters and a tidy baseline presence in both caps and lowercase.
Best suited to display typography where the outline-and-inline detailing can be appreciated: headlines, poster titles, branding marks, packaging, and event collateral. It also works well for short editorial pull quotes or chapter openers when set with generous size and spacing.
The overall tone evokes early 20th‑century display lettering: glamorous, polished, and slightly theatrical. Its repeated inline detail adds a sense of craftsmanship and ornament without becoming fussy, projecting a luxe, vintage-modern feel.
The design appears intended as a stylish display face that combines geometric letter construction with an ornamental inline treatment, delivering an Art Deco–leaning personality while keeping letterforms relatively straightforward and legible.
Several letters emphasize the inline motif most strongly on vertical strokes, creating a subtle striped look that becomes a defining texture in words. The design remains readable at display sizes, but the fine interior line suggests it will look best when given enough scale and contrast against the background.
