An italic, outline serif with a continuous outer contour and an interior inline stroke that creates a hollow, double-line look. Letterforms show strong diagonal stress and tapered joins, with bracketed serifs and softly rounded terminals that give the contours a slightly engraved feel. Proportions lean moderately wide with lively, calligraphic curves; capitals are roomy and open, while lowercase maintains clear counters and a steady rhythm. Numerals follow the same outlined construction, with round forms (0, 8, 9) reading especially smooth and consistent.
Best suited for display applications such as headlines, branding marks, packaging callouts, and editorial or poster titles where the outline/inline detailing can be appreciated. It can also work for invitations or menu headings when set at generous sizes with ample spacing and strong contrast behind the lettering.
The overall tone feels nostalgic and decorative, evoking old-style signage, engraved stationery, and classic display typography. Its light, airy construction and italic motion add a refined flourish while still reading friendly and approachable.
The font appears designed to deliver a decorative, engraved-outline look with classic serif forms and an italic, calligraphic cadence. The consistent double-line construction suggests an intention to mimic vintage lettering or inline sign-painter styles while staying clean and structured.
Because the design is built from outlines and an inner line, perceived weight depends heavily on background contrast and rendering size; small sizes may lose clarity as the counters and inline gap tighten. The slanted forms and prominent serifs give it a distinctly display-first character rather than a neutral text voice.
