A delicate outline serif with monoline outer contours and a lightly irregular, hand-rendered stroke quality. The letterforms are built from narrow double-line outlines that create airy counters and open interiors, with modestly bracketed serifs and occasional curled terminals. Proportions lean classical in the capitals, while the lowercase is compact with a notably small x-height, tall ascenders, and slender, slightly wavering stems that emphasize a sketch-like rhythm. Numerals follow the same outlined construction, with simple, readable shapes and subtle ornamental flicks on select forms.
Best suited to display settings where the fine outlined construction can remain visible: headlines, short phrases, cover titling, boutique packaging, invitations, and editorial accents. It can also work for pull quotes or chapter openers when set at larger sizes and with comfortable tracking.
The overall tone feels whimsical and literary—like inked lettering from a vintage notebook or lightly etched title work. Its fragile linework and playful irregularity suggest charm and curiosity rather than authority, making it feel intimate and craft-driven.
The design appears intended to deliver a light, ornamental serif voice through an outline-only build, combining classical proportions with hand-drawn imperfections. It prioritizes character and airy texture over dense text color, aiming for decorative impact in short-form typography.
Spacing and rhythm read as intentionally uneven in a way that supports the drawn aesthetic, with some glyphs showing small contour kinks and variable inner/outer outline distances. The outline construction stays consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, helping the set feel cohesive despite the organic wobble.
