A tall, upright inline serif with a single-stroke outline and an interior contour that creates a hollow, engraved effect. Strokes are largely monoline with gently rounded joins and softened terminals, producing a smooth, drawn look rather than a sharp, mechanical one. Serifs are small and curved, and many letters show subtle irregularities in curve tension and proportions, giving the alphabet an organic rhythm. Counters are generous and open, and the lining figures follow the same airy inline construction with curled details in numerals like 2, 3, 5, and 9.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, short titling, posters, packaging, and boutique signage where the inline detailing can be appreciated. It can also work for pull quotes or section headers in editorial layouts, especially in contexts aiming for a vintage or storybook mood.
The overall tone feels nostalgic and charming, like turn-of-the-century signage or illustrated book titling. The inline treatment adds a decorative, crafted voice that reads friendly and curious rather than formal. It carries a lighthearted, slightly eccentric character that suits whimsical or retro themes.
The design appears intended to provide an airy, decorative serif with an engraved/inline feel, prioritizing personality and visual texture over dense text color. Its softened serifs and slightly irregular, hand-drawn geometry suggest a focus on approachable, nostalgic display typography.
The outline-and-inline structure keeps the color very light on the page, so it holds up best when given sufficient size and spacing. Curved characters (C, G, O, Q, S) emphasize the font’s soft geometry, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) retain a gentle, rounded finish instead of sharp points.
