A decorative outline serif with an airy, double-line construction that reads like an inline drawn around the letterforms. The capitals use broad, gently rounded bowls and long horizontals, with small flared serifs and occasional tapered terminals that give a lightly engraved look. Curves are smooth and open, while joins stay simple and clean, keeping the rhythm even despite the ornamental outline treatment. Lowercase forms are compact and legible, with a single-storey a and g, a small dot on i/j, and rounded, looped shapes that echo the capitals; figures follow the same hollow outline logic with soft, open contours.
Best suited to headlines and short display copy where the outline detail can remain crisp—posters, editorial titles, packaging, event materials, and branding marks. It can work for pull quotes or section headers, but extended body text may lose clarity due to the open outline structure.
The font conveys a refined, vintage display tone—somewhere between early 20th‑century signage and book-jacket titling. Its hollow outlines feel delicate and crafted, suggesting elegance and theatricality without becoming overly formal.
The design appears intended as a decorative display face that achieves impact through negative space rather than weight. By combining classic serif construction with a hollow, inline-like outline, it aims to deliver a vintage, sign-painterly elegance for titles and branding.
The outline construction makes internal spacing and counter-shapes prominent, so the design reads best when given room and sufficient size. The distinctive, rounded geometry and subtle flaring at terminals help maintain character even with minimal stroke presence.
