A delicate outline serif with hairline strokes and pronounced contrast between thick and thin forms. The letters are drawn as open contours with a consistent inner inset that creates an inline effect, producing a light, airy texture. Serifs are sharp and refined, with crisp terminals and occasional small hooks; curves are smooth and generously rounded, while verticals feel dominant and formal. Proportions skew wide with ample sidebearings, and the lowercase shows a notably small x-height that emphasizes tall ascenders and a dressy silhouette.
Best suited for display typography such as headlines, posters, event materials, and branding marks where the outlined detailing can be appreciated. It can work well on invitations, packaging, and editorial covers, especially when set at larger sizes with comfortable tracking and high-contrast backgrounds.
The overall tone is sophisticated and boutique, with a showcard elegance that reads as both classic and slightly playful. Its hollowed construction adds a decorative, marquee-like sparkle that feels at home in fashion, theatre, or celebratory contexts.
The design appears intended to translate high-contrast serif letterforms into an attention-grabbing outline treatment, prioritizing elegance and visual sparkle over dense text color. It aims to deliver a refined, decorative voice for prominent, short-form typography.
The outline structure makes counters and joins visually prominent, so spacing and background color play a large role in perceived weight. The numerals follow the same refined outline logic and feel suited to display settings where their thin contours can remain crisp.
