A decorative serif with an outlined, inline construction: letterforms are drawn with a clean outer contour and an interior line that creates a hollow, double-stroked look. Strokes are largely even and monolinear, with rounded terminals and gently bracketed, simplified serifs. Counters are open and airy, and curved letters (C, G, O, Q) emphasize smooth, circular geometry, while diagonals and joins remain tidy and consistent. Overall spacing feels generous, and the inline treatment gives each glyph a layered, dimensional presence without heavy weight.
Best used at display sizes where the outline-and-inline detailing remains crisp and intentional. It suits headlines, poster typography, packaging labels, and cover titling, and can add personality to short brand phrases or section headers. For long body text or very small sizes, the interior detailing may become visually busy and lose clarity.
The inline outline treatment and rounded, friendly serif shapes produce a lighthearted, retro tone. It reads as charming and slightly eccentric—suited to whimsical or theatrical settings rather than sober, utilitarian typography.
This appears designed to deliver a distinctive outlined serif voice with an inline accent that adds texture and a subtle sense of depth. The goal seems to be an expressive, memorable display face that stays legible while leaning into decorative charm.
The design’s defining feature is the persistent inner line that echoes the outer contour across both capitals and lowercase, creating a consistent “hollow” rhythm in text. Numerals follow the same construction and lean decorative, prioritizing character over strict neutrality.
