A tall, condensed inline display face built from a single outer contour with an interior parallel line that suggests a hollowed, engraved stroke. Strokes are consistently thin and even, with rounded corners and smooth curves that keep counters open despite the narrow proportions. Terminals are clean and minimally finished, while key joins and shoulders stay crisp, giving the alphabet a regular vertical rhythm. Numerals follow the same narrow, linear construction, with simple forms and a slightly ornamental presence driven by the inline detailing rather than contrast.
Best suited to display typography such as posters, headlines, cover titles, and branding where its inline outline texture can be appreciated. It also fits packaging, menus, and signage that aim for a vintage-luxe or Art Deco atmosphere. For longer text, it works more comfortably in short phrases, pull quotes, or large-size settings where the internal linework stays legible.
The overall tone reads refined and decorative, with a distinct Art Deco sensibility. The outline-plus-inline construction creates a luminous, sign-like sparkle that feels theatrical and upscale, evoking vintage storefront lettering and period title cards. Its precision and restraint keep it from feeling rustic, leaning instead toward polished, metropolitan styling.
The design appears intended to deliver an elegant, period-inflected display voice using an outline structure enhanced by an interior inline, creating depth without relying on weight. Its narrow proportions and consistent monoline construction emphasize verticality and rhythm, targeting high-impact titling and ornamental branding rather than neutral reading text.
The inline detail becomes the primary texture across words, producing a striped effect in vertical strokes that is especially noticeable in capitals and narrow letters. Because the letterforms are slender and open, it maintains clarity at display sizes, but the decorative interior line adds visual noise that can compound in long passages.
