A slender serif design drawn as an outline with an inner inline that creates a hollow, double-stroked effect. Strokes remain largely monoline in feel, with crisp bracketed serifs and tall proportions that emphasize vertical rhythm. Curves are smooth and slightly tightened, counters are open, and joins stay clean, giving the letters a precise, engraved look. Figures follow the same light, outlined construction, reading clearly while maintaining the font’s airy structure.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, titles, pull quotes, and short blocks of text where the outlined construction can be appreciated. It can work well for fashion/editorial layouts, premium packaging, invitations, and branding accents, especially when printed or rendered at sizes that keep the fine outlines from collapsing.
The overall tone is refined and understated, with a boutique, classical flavor. Its hairline outlines and inline detailing suggest something ornamental and archival—more display than utilitarian—while still feeling orderly and composed.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif voice with an ornamental, hollowed outline treatment—aiming for elegance and visual distinctiveness rather than dense body-text efficiency.
The double-contour construction produces a subtle dimensionality, like a pinstripe or engraved plate, which becomes more apparent at larger sizes. In running text, the thin outlines create a light typographic color and benefit from generous spacing and high-contrast backgrounds.
