A delicate outline serif with hairline contours and an open, double-line construction that creates a hollow, see-through interior. Proportions run broad with generous letter widths and ample sidebearings, producing a relaxed horizontal rhythm. Serifs are crisp and fine, and the outlines maintain consistent thinness across curves and stems, giving the face a clean, graphic precision. Lowercase forms are straightforward and readable at display sizes, with rounded bowls and neatly controlled terminals; figures follow the same outlined logic for a unified texture.
Best used for large-format typography such as headlines, magazine and lookbook titles, poster graphics, packaging, and brand wordmarks where the outline effect can stay crisp. It can also work for short pull quotes or navigation labels in spacious layouts, especially when paired with a solid text face for body copy.
The overall tone feels refined and lightweight, leaning toward editorial sophistication while keeping a whimsical, boutique-like charm from the hollowed drawing. Its transparency and hairline build read as stylish and premium, with a slightly theatrical flair suited to attention-grabbing headlines.
The design appears intended to translate classic serif letterforms into a contemporary outline treatment, emphasizing lightness and negative space as the primary visual feature. It targets display typography where a distinctive, fashion-forward presence is more important than compact, text-oriented efficiency.
Because the strokes are constructed from outlines rather than filled forms, the font relies on scale and contrast against the background for clarity; small sizes or busy imagery can cause the counters and inner gaps to visually collapse. In longer sample text the texture stays even but remains distinctly decorative, prioritizing character over dense readability.
