A decorative serif with tall, condensed proportions and an outline/inline construction that creates a hollowed, double-stroke look. Stems and bowls are built from outer contours with an inner parallel line, producing a crisp, engraved effect and a strong vertical rhythm. Serifs are sharp and wedge-like, with occasional curled terminals in the lowercase that add a slightly ornamental, display-first character. Curves are smooth and narrow, counters stay open despite the inline treatment, and spacing feels measured for headline settings rather than dense text.
Best suited to display applications such as posters, event titles, storefront-style signage, and brand marks where the outline/inline detailing can be appreciated. It also works well for packaging and editorial headlines that want an Art Deco or vintage accent, especially when paired with a simpler text face for body copy.
The font reads as vintage and theatrical, with a clear Art Deco sensibility. Its hollowed, lined strokes evoke signage, engraving, and classic poster lettering—polished and stylish without feeling overly playful. The overall tone is elegant and boutique, suited to designs that want a refined period flavor.
The design appears intended to provide a decorative, period-leaning display serif that delivers instant character through an outline/inline construction and condensed vertical proportions. It prioritizes style and silhouette—evoking classic signage and engraved lettering—over long-form readability.
The inline structure is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, giving numerals a similarly ornamental presence. The condensed build and prominent interior lines can create visual shimmer at small sizes, so it benefits from generous size and breathing room in layout.
