A delicate outline typeface built from monoline contours with an additional inner line that creates an inline, double-stroke effect in many curves and stems. Letterforms lean toward geometric construction—round bowls are near-circular, verticals are straight and even, and terminals are clean and minimally ornamented. Uppercase proportions feel tall and slightly narrow, while lowercase stays simple and open, with single-storey forms and restrained joins that keep counters readable despite the open (unfilled) strokes. Numerals follow the same airy, linear logic, with smooth curves and consistent spacing that favors display clarity over text density.
Best suited to display settings such as titles, posters, editorial headers, and brand marks where the outlined construction can remain crisp. It can also work for event materials, packaging, and signage when set at larger sizes and with generous tracking to preserve the interior line detail.
The overall tone is glamorous and architectural, evoking marquee signage and classic display lettering. Its fine outlines read as sophisticated and lightweight, giving headings a polished, upscale feel with a subtle retro flavor rather than a playful or rustic one.
The design appears intended to deliver a refined, period-leaning display look by combining clean geometric skeletons with a light outline and inline detailing. The goal is visual elegance and dimensionality without heavy stroke weight, making it effective for sophisticated, high-contrast typographic compositions.
The double-line/inline construction becomes most noticeable in rounded characters (C, G, O, Q, S and 2–9), adding depth without adding weight. Because the strokes are open outlines, the face relies on size and contrast with the background for legibility; it reads best when allowed ample whitespace.
