A delicate outlined serif with unfilled letterforms built from thin, monoline contours. The shapes follow classical Roman proportions with crisp bracketless serifs and generous spacing, while select strokes show subtle internal inline detailing that reinforces the hollow look. Rounds are smooth and open, terminals are clean, and the overall rhythm is light and consistent, giving the alphabet a precise, display-oriented presence.
Best suited for headlines, pull quotes, posters, and branded moments where a light, decorative serif can add sophistication without heavy ink color. It works well for fashion/editorial layouts, packaging, invitations, and signage, particularly at medium-to-large sizes where the outline detail remains clear.
The font reads as refined and airy, with a boutique, editorial sensibility. Its outline construction lends a crafted, ornamental feel—more about visual texture and elegance than dense color on the page.
The design appears intended to offer a classical serif voice in an outline treatment, creating a premium display look that stays graceful and spacious. It prioritizes elegance and distinctive texture over compact readability in long, small-size text.
The outlines create a bright internal counterspace that can appear to shimmer at larger sizes. Numerals and capitals feel especially formal, while the lowercase maintains a restrained, bookish tone with tall ascenders and compact interior spaces.
