A delicate outline serif with monoline contours and generous interior space. Letterforms are built from a single continuous outer stroke, producing a hollow look with clean, crisp edges and minimal modulation. Proportions feel traditional, with balanced capitals and a moderate x-height; curves are smooth and round while joins and terminals stay tidy. Spacing reads open and even in text, and the outlines maintain consistent thickness across straight and curved strokes.
Best suited for display settings such as headlines, posters, and editorial openers where the outline can read clearly. It also works well for packaging, invitations, and brand marks that want an elegant engraved or signage-like feel. For longer text, it performs better at larger sizes or with ample line spacing due to its light, open construction.
The thin, hollow construction gives the font a light, airy presence that feels refined and slightly whimsical. Its classic serif skeleton suggests tradition, while the outline treatment adds a decorative, display-forward personality suited to elegant but attention-getting typography.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a traditional serif structure as a pure outline, creating a decorative face that feels both classic and modern. Its consistent monoline contour and restrained detailing prioritize clarity of silhouette and a graceful, understated presence in display typography.
Curved forms (like O/Q/C and rounded numerals) emphasize the double-contour effect, while straighter letters keep a clean, architectural rhythm. The overall color on the page is intentionally faint, so it relies on size, contrast against the background, or pairing with a solid companion for hierarchy.
