A delicate outline display face built from hairline contours with an additional inner inline that creates a double-stroke effect on many verticals and curves. Forms are largely geometric with round bowls and smooth arcs, while terminals stay clean and unbracketed for a crisp, monoline feel. Proportions read tall and refined, with narrow apertures and generous internal space due to the open outline construction; curves remain consistent and evenly tensioned across letters and numerals.
Best suited for large-size applications such as headlines, poster titles, logotypes, and premium packaging where the outline/inline construction can read cleanly. It can also work well for invitations, menus, or event branding that benefits from a light, ornamental look.
The overall tone is refined and decorative, evoking classic early-20th-century glamour through its sleek outlines and subtle inline detailing. It feels light, upscale, and slightly theatrical—more about sparkle and sophistication than utility.
The design appears intended as a decorative outline typeface that delivers a glamorous, period-leaning aesthetic while staying structurally simple and geometric. The added inline detail suggests an aim for a marquee or engraved feel without becoming heavy or ornate.
The inline detailing is most noticeable on straight stems and around rounded letters, giving a subtle dimensional or engraved impression without adding weight. Because the strokes are extremely thin and open, the design relies on size and contrast with the background to maintain clarity.
