A delicate outline serif with hairline contours and an open, airy interior. The letterforms are built from a single outer stroke path with consistent thinness, producing a monoline, see-through look that emphasizes silhouette over fill. Proportions are classical and slightly condensed-to-neutral, with crisp bracketed serifs, tall capitals, and smooth, rounded bowls; joins stay clean and controlled rather than calligraphic. The lowercase maintains a traditional serif skeleton with modest modulation in curvature (not stroke weight), and the numerals follow the same refined outline logic, including more ornamental curves in several figures.
Best suited for display settings where the outline effect can be appreciated—headlines, magazine and book titling, posters, fashion/beauty branding, premium packaging, and invitation suites. It also works well for short pull quotes or wordmarks when given ample size and contrast against the background.
The overall tone is refined and ornamental—more boutique and editorial than utilitarian. Its light, skeletal presence reads as stylish and slightly nostalgic, evoking engraved stationery and classic display typography while remaining calm and poised.
The design appears intended to translate a classic serif structure into a lightweight outline treatment for an upscale, decorative voice. It prioritizes elegance and negative-space texture, offering a distinctive alternative to solid text serifs for title and branding work.
Because only contours are drawn, counters and interior spaces become prominent, and spacing feels more generous than in a solid font of the same size. The outline construction is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, which helps maintain rhythm in longer lines, though the most delicate details will visually thin out at small sizes or in low-resolution contexts.
