A delicate inline serif with monoline, hairline outlines that create an airy, open color on the page. The design uses continuous outer contours with an interior line/track that reads as a hollowed, double-stroke construction, giving stems and bowls a ribbon-like presence. Serifs are fine and restrained; curves are smooth and circular, while joins stay crisp and controlled. Lowercase forms are compact and bookish with a two-storey a and g, dotted i/j, and generally narrow counters emphasized by the outline treatment; numerals are similarly light and ornamental, with a notably stylized 2 and curled terminals in several figures.
Best suited to display sizes for headlines, short phrases, and brand marks where the outline detail can remain crisp. It works well for fashion and lifestyle editorials, event and wedding stationery, premium packaging, and theatrical or vintage-inspired posters. For longer text, it benefits from larger point sizes and ample line spacing to preserve clarity.
The overall tone is sophisticated and decorative, evoking boutique editorial typography and vintage display lettering. Its light, filament-like strokes feel elegant and slightly playful, lending a refined yet whimsical character rather than a utilitarian one.
The font appears designed to deliver a distinctive outline/inline serif voice that feels classic yet decorative, prioritizing visual elegance and retro display presence over dense text performance.
Because the letterforms are defined by extremely thin contours, spacing and counters become the primary drivers of rhythm, and the face reads best when given generous size and breathing room. The outline construction is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, helping mixed-case settings retain a cohesive, ornamental texture.
