A delicate serif design drawn as an outline with an inline (double-stroke) construction that creates hollow letterforms and a light, filigreed presence. Strokes are consistently thin and even, with crisp terminals and neatly modeled serifs that stay readable despite the open interiors. Rounds (O, C, Q, 0) are generously proportioned and symmetrical, while verticals dominate the rhythm, giving the alphabet a tall, poised stance. The lowercase shows simple, classic forms with open counters and modest curves, keeping the overall texture even in text despite the ornamental interior lines.
Well-suited to display applications such as headlines, branding marks, invitations, labels, and premium packaging where the outline-and-inline construction can be appreciated. It can work for short editorial pull quotes or titling, but is most effective when set large enough for the interior detailing to remain clear.
The font conveys a refined, boutique feel—elegant and slightly theatrical—like engraved lettering or fashion-era titling. Its airy outlines read as premium and decorative rather than utilitarian, lending a sense of sophistication and display polish. The overall tone is calm and composed, with a subtle vintage flourish.
The design appears intended to provide a refined outline serif with an engraved, decorative character—combining classic proportions with a hollow, inline treatment for eye-catching display typography.
Because the design relies on thin outlined contours and interior lines, it reads best when given enough size and contrast against the background. In paragraph settings the texture stays consistent, but the inline detailing becomes the main visual event, especially in round letters and numerals.
