A tall, monoline outline face with a consistent internal inline that creates a double-stroke, hollow appearance. Letterforms are largely geometric with clean, rounded curves and straight-sided verticals, giving a precise, drawn-contour feel. Proportions run slightly condensed and vertical, with open counters and simplified joins that keep the outlines readable at display sizes. Numerals and capitals share the same linear construction, while the lowercase maintains a smooth, upright rhythm with single-storey forms where shown.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding where the outline-and-inline construction can breathe and remain crisp. It also fits packaging, signage, and editorial display applications that want a refined vintage voice. For sustained small-size text, the hollow construction may benefit from extra size and careful tracking to preserve clarity.
The overall tone evokes early-20th-century display lettering—sleek, decorative, and slightly glamorous. The hollow/inline treatment adds a sign-painting and poster-like character that feels theatrical and vintage without becoming overly ornate.
The design appears intended as a decorative display face that references classic inline lettering and Art Deco-era geometry. Its consistent outline system prioritizes a striking silhouette and a layered stroke effect for impactful titles and brand marks.
The internal inline sits evenly within the outer contour, producing a clear layered stroke effect that reads best with generous size and spacing. Rounded terminals and softly curved bowls balance the otherwise rigid vertical emphasis, helping long lines of text remain visually smooth despite the decorative construction.
