A delicate outline serif with hairline, monoline contours that trace classical letterforms rather than filling them. The design uses crisp, tapered serifs and smooth, open counters, with occasional doubled/parallel contour detailing that reads like an inline effect on several glyphs. Proportions lean moderately narrow with tall capitals and a calm, even rhythm; joins and curves are clean and controlled, and the overall spacing feels measured for display sizes where the fine outlines stay distinct. Numerals follow the same refined outline construction, with curvy, old-style-like gestures and prominent open interior shapes.
Best suited to large-scale settings like headlines, mastheads, logotypes, and elegant packaging where the outline construction can read clearly. It also fits invitations and title treatments that benefit from a refined, decorative serif presence. In continuous small text, the hairline outlines are likely to lose presence, so it performs most confidently as a display face.
The tone is poised and high-end, combining editorial elegance with a slightly ornamental, vintage flavor. Its thin contour drawing creates an airy, “drawn with a pen” lightness that feels stylish and formal rather than casual.
The design appears intended as a modern, fashion-forward display serif that reinterprets traditional Roman structures through an outline-only drawing. It aims to deliver sophistication and lightness, emphasizing contour, negative space, and ornamental nuance over typographic density.
Several characters feature small flourish moments—such as a looped tail on Q and gentle curls on some lowercase terminals—adding personality without becoming script-like. Because the strokes are purely outlined and extremely thin, the visual color stays pale and relies on contrast from size and background.
