A tall, compact serif with an inline/outlined construction that leaves a consistent hollow channel through most strokes. The letterforms are built from smooth outer contours with softly bracketed, rounded serifs and gentle curves, giving the outlines a drawn, slightly calligraphic feel rather than rigid geometry. Capitals are relatively narrow with prominent vertical emphasis, while lowercase forms keep a straightforward, readable skeleton; counters remain open and the internal cutouts track the stroke path to maintain an even rhythm. Numerals follow the same outlined logic, with curvy figures and a notably ornamental “8” that doubles the inner loops.
Best suited to display settings such as posters, headlines, packaging, and title treatments where the outlined strokes can be appreciated. It can also work for editorial pull quotes or short text blocks when set at larger sizes with comfortable leading.
The overall tone is vintage and lightly eccentric, suggesting old playbills, bookish curiosities, or crafted signage. The hollowed strokes add a showy, display-first personality without becoming aggressive, reading as charming and slightly theatrical.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif silhouette while adding decorative intrigue through an integrated inline outline, creating a distinctive voice for attention-grabbing typography in print-like contexts.
Because the design relies on interior voids, it benefits from sufficient size and contrast against the background; at smaller sizes the inline gaps may visually fill in. The spacing and proportions feel consistent across the alphabet, supporting longer headlines and short passages when set generously.
