A serif outline face with a clean outer contour and an internal inline that creates a hollow, double-stroked effect. Strokes are predominantly monoline, with crisp, bracketless-looking serifs and tall vertical proportions, giving the letters a structured, display-oriented rhythm. Curves are smooth and evenly tensioned, and the counters appear airy due to the open outline construction; joints and terminals stay sharp and graphic rather than calligraphic.
Best suited to display applications such as headlines, titles, posters, and branding where the outlined construction can be appreciated. It can work well for packaging, event materials, menus, and editorial openers, especially when set large with generous tracking and plenty of surrounding whitespace.
The overall tone is classic and ornamented—polished enough to feel formal, yet playful because of the interior striping and open construction. It reads as theatrical and vintage-leaning, suited to attention-grabbing typography rather than quiet, utilitarian text.
Likely designed as a decorative serif for impactful display typography, using an inline outline construction to add texture and a crafted, engraved-like feel while keeping letterforms orderly and legible at larger sizes.
The outline treatment stays consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, producing strong contrast against background at larger sizes. In dense paragraph settings the open interiors and inline detail can visually cluster, so spacing and size become important for maintaining clarity.
