A decorative serif with hollowed, inline construction that reads as a double-stroke/outlined drawing rather than a filled text face. Stems and bowls are formed by parallel contours with consistent inner channels, creating a crisp, airy color on the page. Serifs are sharp and tapered, and curves are smooth and round with a refined, slightly formal rhythm; the overall proportions feel generously wide with ample interior space. Numerals and capitals keep the same inline logic, giving the set a unified, carefully patterned texture.
Best suited to display typography such as headlines, posters, event materials, packaging, and invitations where the outlined inline detail can be appreciated. It can also work for short logotypes and chapter openers, especially when set with generous tracking and ample whitespace.
The font conveys a classic, Art Deco–leaning sophistication with a theatrical, boutique feel. Its hollowed strokes and polished serifs suggest glamour and ceremony, balancing elegance with a distinctly decorative presence.
The design appears intended to translate classic serif forms into a hollow, inline display style that feels engraved and decorative. Its consistent parallel contours and sharp serif detailing prioritize visual flair and a distinctive brandable texture over continuous-text neutrality.
The inline/outlined construction produces strong sparkle at larger sizes but can visually thin out in dense settings, especially where parallel contours run close together. Rounded characters (like O/Q and 8) emphasize the ornamental double-line motif, while narrow joins and terminals add a precise, engraved character.
