A delicate outline serif with an added inline contour that creates a double-stroked, engraved effect. Letterforms are upright and fairly open, with moderate stroke modulation expressed through the spacing between contours rather than filled weight. Serifs are bracketed and slightly flared, and several glyphs introduce mild calligraphic shaping—most notably the swashed, looped tail on the lowercase g and the sculpted joins in letters like M, N, and W. Curves are smooth and generously rounded, while vertical stems stay crisp, giving the design a refined, decorative rhythm.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, posters, logotypes, packaging, and event or invitation typography where the outline-and-inline detailing can be appreciated. It also works well for short pull quotes or mastheads, especially when paired with a solid text face for body copy.
The overall tone reads as vintage and ornamental, evoking signage, editorial titling, and engraved display typography. The inline/outline construction adds a light, airy sophistication, while the occasional swash details keep it lively and characterful rather than strictly formal.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif silhouette with a decorative, engraved-like treatment through an outline plus inner contour. Its goal is to add visual richness and period flavor without becoming overly ornate, making it adaptable to a range of retro-to-elegant display applications.
Because the drawing is contour-based with fine lines, the face tends to rely on sufficient size and contrast for clarity; at small sizes the inner contour and tight counters can visually merge. Numerals follow the same outlined, slightly stylized logic, with rounded bowls and gentle quirks that match the letterforms.
