A high-contrast, right-leaning serif with hairline joins and broad, flared terminals, drawn as a double-line/outlined construction that leaves a bright interior throughout the strokes. The letterforms are very wide with generous sidebearings, and the rhythm feels lively due to asymmetric stress and frequent spur-like extensions. Serifs are sharp and tapered, while curves often show a subtle inner echo that reinforces the outlined, hollow look. Overall spacing reads airy, and the thin contours create a delicate, engraverly texture in both caps and lowercase.
Best suited to display applications such as headlines, poster typography, invitations, and branding where the outlined construction can be appreciated at larger sizes. It can also work for short passages in editorial or packaging contexts when paired with a simpler companion face and set with comfortable tracking.
The font conveys a refined yet playful tone—part formal display italic, part storybook ornament. Its hollow, engraved presence suggests classic luxury and theatrical flair, with enough eccentricity in terminals and curves to feel expressive rather than purely traditional.
The design appears intended to reinterpret an italic serif through an outlined, hollow drawing, emphasizing contrast, elegance, and ornamental detail for attention-grabbing display use. Its wide proportions and decorative inner contouring prioritize distinctive personality and visual drama over dense readability.
In text settings the outlined strokes remain crisp but visually light, making the face feel more like a decorative overlay than a solid text serif. The numerals share the same sweeping, high-contrast construction and read best when given ample size and breathing room.
