A delicate outline serif with monoline outer contours and a consistent double-line construction that reads like an engraved or inlaid letterform. Capitals are proportionally classical with sharp, tapered terminals and small, bracketless serifs, while bowls and joins often show an internal parallel contour that creates a hollowed, ribbon-like rhythm. Lowercase forms are narrow and slightly mannered, with looped descenders (notably g and y), a tall, slender l, and an overall high-contrast look created by negative space rather than stroke weight. Numerals follow the same outline logic, with open counters and clean, continuous curves.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, titling, posters, and upscale packaging where the outline construction can be appreciated. It also works well for short editorial callouts, invitations, and brand marks that benefit from a refined, engraved feel rather than dense text color.
The overall tone is poised and ornamental, suggesting formality without heaviness. Its light, hollow construction feels airy and upscale, with a subtle vintage flavor reminiscent of engraved titling and refined editorial typography.
The design appears intended to translate traditional serif proportions into a decorative outline treatment, emphasizing negative space and parallel contours to evoke engraved or inlaid lettering. It prioritizes elegance and visual distinctiveness in large-format typography over text-density or small-size robustness.
The double-line detailing becomes more prominent at larger sizes, where the internal contour reads as intentional ornamentation; at smaller sizes the open outlines may visually thin out. The set maintains consistent spacing and a steady vertical stance, with occasional flourish in diagonals and descenders adding personality without becoming script-like.
