A delicate outline serif with hairline contours and a subtle inner line that creates a double-stroke, engraved feel. The letterforms use classic Roman proportions with sharp wedge-like serifs and clean, upright construction, while the interior contour often follows the main outline to emphasize counters and curves. Spacing reads open and breathable, and the thin strokes give the design a shimmering, light-on-its-feet rhythm. Numerals and capitals carry the most presence, with crisp geometry and carefully controlled curves that maintain consistency across the set.
Best suited for display settings such as headlines, magazine/editorial titles, brand marks, invitations, and premium packaging where the outline detail can be appreciated. It can also work for short pull quotes or signage when set large with generous spacing; for long passages, larger sizes and careful contrast management help preserve clarity.
The overall tone is polished and high-end, evoking editorial typography, luxury packaging, and artful titling. Its outline construction adds a couture, display-oriented character—more about style and atmosphere than density or weight.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a traditional serif through an outline-and-inline construction, producing a lightweight, decorative voice that feels tailored for modern luxury and editorial art direction. Its consistent contouring and restrained details suggest a focus on refined display typography rather than utilitarian body text.
At text sizes the open outlines can visually lighten the color of a paragraph, while at larger sizes the fine contours and inline detailing become the main feature. Round forms (like O, Q, and 8) especially highlight the font’s layered contour treatment and give it a sophisticated, engraved signature.
