A delicate outline serif with monoline contours and open counters, where the letterforms are defined by a single, continuous outer stroke rather than filled shapes. Proportions feel generously spaced with relatively wide capitals and ample interior whitespace, giving the set a light, floating texture on the page. Serifs are fine and often bracketed, with tapered joins and gently sculpted terminals; curves in C/G/S and the bowls of B/P/R are smooth and controlled. The roman is consistently upright, with modest modulation implied by the drawn contours and a clean, even rhythm across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited for display typography such as magazine headlines, fashion/beauty branding, boutique packaging, event materials, and posters where the outline effect can remain crisp. It can also work for short pull quotes or title treatments at larger sizes, especially when paired with a solid text face for body copy.
The overall tone is sophisticated and understated—more couture and editorial than utilitarian. Its airy outlines and classic serif construction suggest luxury, ceremony, and a polished, high-end sensibility, while the open forms keep it feeling modern and spacious rather than heavy or traditional.
The design appears intended to deliver a premium, high-fashion serif voice using an outline treatment that prioritizes lightness and visual flair. By combining classic roman proportions with airy contours and carefully shaped serifs, it aims to create memorable titles and brand marks without the visual mass of a filled display serif.
Round characters frequently show inner contour details that emphasize symmetry and craftsmanship (notably O/Q and the round figures), and several glyphs feature small calligraphic inflections (such as the hooked descenders and soft spur-like terminals). The outline construction makes stroke crossings and tight apertures visually prominent, so the design reads best when given room to breathe.
