A refined outline serif with a consistent double-line construction that reads like an outer contour with an inner inline, creating hollow counters and an airy color on the page. Letterforms are wide and gently flared, with crisp hairline terminals and a balanced, moderate contrast that stays delicate even in larger sizes. Curves are smooth and circular (notably in O/Q/C), while straights remain clean and upright; serifs are thin and tapered, contributing to a polished, engraving-like rhythm across capitals and lowercase.
Best suited for display applications where the outlined construction can be appreciated: magazine headlines, brand marks, event posters, premium packaging, invitations, and short editorial callouts. It also works well for titling in contexts that benefit from a light, luxurious typographic voice.
The overall tone is upscale and ornamental, evoking luxury packaging, fashion mastheads, and classic display typography with a subtle Art Deco flavor. Its open, filigreed outlines feel poised and formal rather than utilitarian, giving text a light, glamorous presence.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif silhouette with a modern, ornamental twist by rendering strokes as precise outlines with a parallel inline. This approach emphasizes elegance and visual intrigue over dense text color, targeting attention-grabbing display use.
The inline/outline separation is kept even, which helps maintain clarity in large display settings, while the fine interior lines suggest that very small sizes or low-resolution output may reduce the separation. Numerals follow the same outlined logic and feel cohesive with the roman capitals, reinforcing a unified, decorative system.
