A delicate outlined serif with an inline construction: each letterform is built from an outer contour paired with a closely following inner line, creating a hollow, double-stroked effect. Strokes are consistently hairline-thin with smooth curves and crisp terminals, and the serifs read as fine, bracketed slabs rather than heavy wedges. Proportions skew generously spaced with open counters, while round letters (O, Q) show clean oval geometry and the Q features a distinctive, looping tail. Lowercase forms keep a tidy, bookish structure with narrow joins and tall ascenders; the italic influence is minimal, staying essentially vertical.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, titling, and short editorial lines where the outlined inline detail can be appreciated. It can add a premium, vintage-leaning accent to branding and packaging, and works well for invitations or signage when used at larger sizes with ample tracking.
The overall tone is light, ornamental, and quietly formal—more boutique and literary than utilitarian. Its double-line treatment evokes vintage engraving and stationery aesthetics, giving text a refined, display-forward presence even at moderate sizes.
The design intention appears to be a refined decorative serif that borrows from traditional letterforms while using an inline outline to create a distinctive engraved look. It prioritizes elegance and atmosphere over dense, small-size readability.
In the sample text, the inline outlines create a shimmering texture that emphasizes vertical rhythm and makes the font feel best when given breathing room. Numerals follow the same double-stroked logic, with more decorative figures (notably 2, 3, and 8) that lean toward classic, old-style charm.
