A tall, condensed outline face built from clean outer contours paired with a parallel inner line that creates an inline effect. Strokes remain visually even with minimal contrast, and curves are broad and controlled, giving the letters a polished, geometric rhythm. The proportions are narrow with compact widths on many letters, while spacing and widths vary enough to keep natural word shapes in the sample text.
It performs best in display settings where the outline detail can be appreciated: posters, book or album covers, storefront-style wordmarks, packaging titles, and editorial headlines. It can also work for short pull quotes or event titling when set at generous sizes with comfortable tracking, as the open counters and fine inner lines benefit from space.
The overall tone is reminiscent of Art Deco-era signage and classic display lettering—sleek, ornamental, and slightly theatrical. The open, airy drawing conveys sophistication and a curated, boutique sensibility, with a retro flavor that still feels clean and contemporary in layout.
This typeface is designed to make a statement through an outlined, inline construction that emphasizes silhouette over fill. Its tall proportions and controlled geometry suggest a decorative, period-inspired intent, aiming for elegance and graphic presence rather than dense text color.
Across both cases, the construction reads as a double-line/inline outline with consistent stroke logic, producing a light typographic color and a distinctive interior channel. Round characters (O, Q, C) stay smooth and symmetrical, while angled forms (A, V, W, Y) keep crisp joins; numerals echo the same streamlined, decorative feel.
