A delicate outline serif with monoline contours and an internal inline that creates a hollow, double-stroked look. Proportions are classical and somewhat narrow, with crisp serifs, smooth bowls, and a steady vertical stress that reads as upright and formal. Curves are clean and controlled, while joins and terminals stay sharp; the inner line tracks the outer contour closely, giving counters a layered, filigreed feel. Numerals and capitals maintain consistent rhythm and spacing, and the overall drawing stays lightweight and precise, prioritizing finesse over bold presence.
Best suited for display typography where the outline and inline detailing can be appreciated—headlines, pull quotes, posters, covers, and boutique branding. It can also work for event stationery or packaging accents, especially when printed large or used with ample white space.
The font conveys a refined, upscale tone with a lightly ornamental, editorial flavor. Its airy construction suggests sophistication and a touch of vintage glamour, like engraved lettering or fashion-title styling rather than utilitarian text.
The design appears intended to translate classic serif letterforms into a modern outline treatment, adding an engraved, ornamental dimension while keeping the overall construction disciplined and typographically familiar.
Because the design relies on thin outlines and interior detailing, small sizes and low-resolution reproduction may cause the internal inline to visually fill in or shimmer, while generous sizing preserves the intended lacy structure. Round letters (C, O, Q) and the ampersand particularly emphasize the decorative, layered outline motif.
