A decorative serif design built from thin outline strokes with an internal inline, creating a hollow, double-stroked look throughout the alphabet. Letterforms are upright with classical proportions and gentle modulation created by the parallel contours rather than strong thick–thin contrast. Serifs are small and slightly flared, and several glyphs add subtle swashes or curled terminals (notably in capitals and in letters like g, y, and 2), giving the set a lively rhythm. Counters are open and rounded, with smooth curves and clean joins that keep the overall texture light and spacious in text.
Best suited to display typography where the outline-and-inline detailing can be clearly resolved—headlines, editorial titling, event and wedding stationery, boutique packaging, and logo wordmarks. It can work for short text passages in larger settings, especially where a light, ornamental texture is desired, but is less ideal for dense body copy at small sizes.
The font reads as refined and ornamental, combining a vintage engraved feeling with a playful, storybook elegance. Its airy outlines and occasional curlicues make it feel celebratory and decorative rather than utilitarian, with a gentle, boutique tone.
The design appears intended to evoke classic engraved signage and vintage lettering through a light outline construction and restrained serif forms, while adding a touch of whimsy via occasional swashes and curled terminals. The consistent double-line treatment suggests an emphasis on decorative clarity and a distinctive silhouette in titles and branding.
The inline/outline construction creates a distinctive “drawn” presence that becomes more apparent at display sizes, while small sizes may reduce the separation between contours. Numerals and capitals show the same decorative logic as the lowercase, helping headings and short phrases maintain a consistent, embellished voice.
