A decorative inline serif with a consistent double-stroke construction: each letterform is drawn as two parallel outlines that read like an internal stripe running along the contours. Strokes are generally monoline in feel, with rounded turns and soft terminals, while select caps introduce sharp, flared wedges and elongated verticals. Proportions are tall and slightly narrow, with lively width variation across the set (notably in M/W versus I/J), and generous internal counters that keep the forms airy. Numerals and lowercase follow the same inline logic, with occasional calligraphic quirks (notably the looping g and the slightly eccentric s), giving the overall rhythm a handcrafted, ornamental regularity.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, posters, invitations, and event graphics where the inline contour can act as a built-in ornament. It also fits branding and packaging for vintage-leaning or boutique products, and short pull quotes where the decorative rhythm can shine without demanding extended reading.
The repeated inline contouring evokes classic marquee lettering and period display typography, lending a distinctly Art Deco–leaning, theatrical personality. It feels playful and boutique—more about charm and visual sparkle than neutrality—while still reading as refined and curated.
Designed to provide instant ornamentation through an integrated inline/outline structure, delivering a period-inspired display voice that stands out without relying on added effects. The goal appears to be a cohesive, stylish alphabet that reads clearly in short bursts while projecting a distinctive retro elegance.
The inline treatment is strong enough to become a texture at text sizes, so spacing and word shapes feel animated rather than quiet. Capitals present the most dramatic personality, and the design reads best when allowed room around it so the double contours don’t visually merge.
