A delicate outlined serif with a consistent, hairline double-stroke construction that creates an inline/outline effect rather than solid stems. Proportions feel tall and slightly condensed, with crisp verticals, rounded bowls, and small wedge-like serifs that taper and flare subtly at terminals. Curves are smooth and controlled, and joins stay clean and restrained, giving the alphabet a structured, architectural rhythm. Numerals follow the same double-contour logic, reading clearly while remaining light and open.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, poster titles, brand marks, menus, packaging, and event or invitation typography where the outlined construction can be appreciated. It works especially well on clean, high-contrast backgrounds and in larger sizes, and can add a vintage, upscale accent when used sparingly alongside simpler text faces.
The overall tone is poised and ornamental, combining classic serif formality with a decorative, display-minded lightness. It evokes early 20th-century sign lettering and Art Deco titling, but with a quieter, more refined presence than high-contrast glamour faces. The outline treatment gives it an airy, etched feel—elegant, slightly theatrical, and distinctly vintage.
The design appears intended as a decorative titling serif that delivers classic letterform familiarity while adding a distinctive outlined/inline personality. Its narrow, vertical stance and restrained ornamentation suggest a focus on elegant branding and period-inspired display work rather than dense, long-form reading.
Because the strokes are rendered as outlines, interior spacing and background contrast play a large role in legibility; the design reads best when given enough size and breathing room. The letterforms maintain a consistent internal gap between contours, reinforcing a cohesive, crafted look across caps, lowercase, and figures.
