A delicate outline serif with double-line strokes that create a hollow, engraved look. The letterforms keep traditional serif proportions with moderate modulation and crisp bracketed serifs, while the interior contour follows the outer stroke closely to maintain even “inline” spacing. Curves are smooth and open, counters read clearly despite the outline construction, and the overall rhythm is measured and formal. Numerals and capitals feel especially stately, with ample verticality and fine detailing at terminals.
Best suited for display typography where the outline detailing can be appreciated—headlines, editorial titles, invitations, premium packaging, and brand marks. It can work for short pull quotes or subheads, but will generally perform best when set large with generous spacing and high contrast against the background.
The tone is poised and classical, evoking engraved stationery, vintage book titling, and upscale labeling. Its light, airy construction feels ornamental rather than utilitarian, suggesting sophistication and a touch of old-world charm.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a classic serif through an outline/inline construction, prioritizing elegance and decorative presence over dense text readability. It aims to provide an engraved, ornamental alternative to a standard book serif for prominent typographic moments.
At text sizes the outline structure can visually thin out, while at larger sizes the double-contour detailing becomes a defining feature. The punctuation and figures match the same refined, hairline outline approach, supporting consistent display use.
