A delicate outline serif with hollow, single-line contours that trace classic book-type proportions. The letterforms are narrow-to-moderate in build with tall capitals, a relatively even stroke presence, and crisp bracketed serifs rendered as thin contours rather than filled strokes. Curves are smooth and carefully drawn, with open internal counters and occasional hairline joins that create a light, lacy texture. Numerals follow the same outline logic, with traditional shapes and subtle curled terminals on figures like 2, 3, 6, and 9.
Best suited to display contexts such as magazine headlines, luxury branding, invitations, packaging, and poster typography where the outline detailing can be appreciated. It also works well for short pull quotes or mastheads set with ample tracking and plenty of white space.
The overall tone is elegant and airy, with a refined, boutique feel that reads as formal and decorative rather than utilitarian. Its hollow construction gives it a light, engraved quality that can feel both classical and fashion-forward depending on layout and spacing.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif silhouette with a modern, decorative twist through hollow outline construction. It prioritizes elegance and visual nuance over dense text efficiency, aiming for a premium, attention-getting presence in display typography.
Because only the contours carry the form, the design relies heavily on clean reproduction and generous sizing; at smaller sizes the fine outlines and interior gaps can visually soften. The rhythm is consistent across uppercase and lowercase, and the face maintains a poised, editorial presence in paragraph-like settings when set large.
