A decorative serif with an outlined, inline construction: each letter is drawn with a continuous outer contour and a secondary inner line that creates a hollow, double-stroked effect. Strokes are generally uniform in thickness, with crisp terminals and small bracketed serifs; curved letters show smooth, rounded bowls while verticals remain straight and steady. Proportions feel open and slightly expanded, with generous counters and clear separation between the outline and the inner line, producing a rhythmic, architectural texture across words and all-caps settings.
Best suited to display applications where the inline outline can be appreciated: headlines, posters, invitations, packaging, and storefront or event signage. It works well at medium to large sizes and in short to moderate text runs where the decorative internal line contributes character without overwhelming readability.
The inline outline treatment and refined serifs evoke classic display typography associated with early 20th‑century signage and editorial titling. The look reads as elegant and theatrical, with a hint of whimsy from the curled terminals and distinctive inner-line detailing.
Designed to deliver a distinctive, high-style display voice by combining an outline skeleton with an inline accent and classic serif construction. The intent appears to be creating a memorable, decorative wordmark texture with a vintage, sign-painterly feel.
Uppercase forms are especially strong for display, with symmetrical construction in rounds (O, Q) and pronounced internal striping that becomes a prominent pattern in text. Numerals carry the same outlined logic, giving figures a lively, ornamented presence suited to titling rather than dense tables.
