A high-contrast serif with hairline strokes and a distinctive inline/outlined construction that creates a hollowed, double-stroked look. Capitals are tall and finely proportioned with sharp, tapering serifs and crisp terminals, while bowls and rounds (O, Q, 8, 9) emphasize smooth curves with consistent inner counters. The rhythm is formal and vertical, with narrow joins and delicate crossbars; spacing reads generous at display sizes, and the overall texture is airy due to the open interiors and thin connecting strokes.
Best suited for display applications such as headlines, mastheads, branding marks, and event materials where the inline outline can be appreciated. It also works for short editorial callouts or packaging titles, especially when a luxe, decorative serif presence is desired.
The font conveys a refined, high-fashion tone with a hint of vintage glamour. Its hollow inline detailing feels ornamental and theatrical, lending a sense of luxury and curated sophistication rather than everyday neutrality.
Likely designed to reinterpret a classic high-contrast serif through an outlined/inline treatment, maximizing elegance and visual interest while keeping letterforms disciplined and upright. The goal appears to be a distinctive display face that reads as premium and decorative without relying on heavy weight.
In running text the fine hairlines and internal outlines create a shimmering texture that stands out best at larger sizes. Numerals mirror the same inline construction, and letters like Q and g add extra flourish through prominent interior forms and curved terminals.
