A delicate display face built from fine outline contours with a pronounced thick–thin rhythm suggested by its double-line construction. The letterforms are sharply modeled with tapered terminals, crisp wedge-like serifs, and occasional spur details that create a shimmering, engraved feel. Proportions skew tall and elegant with narrow internal counters and a short x-height, while curves (notably in C, G, O, Q and numerals) are drawn with confident, sweeping arcs. Overall spacing reads airy, and the outline treatment introduces an intentional optical “hollow” lightness that emphasizes silhouette over stroke mass.
Best suited to large-scale settings where the outline detail can be appreciated: mastheads, headlines, campaign graphics, brand marks, perfume/beauty packaging, and event materials. It also works well for short pull quotes or title cards when given generous spacing and strong contrast against the background.
The tone is sophisticated and theatrical, with a couture/editorial sensibility. Its fine outlines and dramatic modulation feel ceremonial and upscale, evoking fashion mastheads, invitations, and high-end packaging rather than utilitarian text.
The design appears intended as a high-fashion display serif that foregrounds elegance and silhouette through an outline approach. Its goal is to deliver a premium, editorial presence with dramatic forms and fine detailing, prioritizing impact and refinement over continuous-reading comfort.
The outline construction can create sparkle and texture at larger sizes, but it also makes small sizes and busy backgrounds more demanding. The italic-like flicks on some lowercase forms and the distinctive Q tail add personality and a slightly whimsical edge within an otherwise formal, classical structure.
