A serif display face drawn as a double-line outline with an inner contour that creates an inline/engraved effect. Letterforms are upright with crisp, bracketed wedge serifs, narrow-to-moderate proportions, and a relatively tall cap height over a moderate x-height. Curves are smooth and round (notably in C, G, O, Q), while joins and terminals stay sharp, giving a refined, etched rhythm. The outline construction is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, with counters kept open and legible despite the decorative contouring.
Best suited for display settings such as headlines, posters, book and album covers, packaging, and period-inspired signage. It works particularly well when you want a refined outlined look in titles, pull quotes, or short branding lines, and is less ideal for dense body text where the open outline can reduce readability.
The overall tone feels vintage and formal, evoking engraved signage, book titling, and classic poster lettering. The hollow, double-stroked construction reads as ornamental rather than utilitarian, adding a theatrical, old-world elegance to headlines and short phrases.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif voice with an engraved, hollowed construction for decorative impact. By pairing traditional serif proportions with a consistent inline outline, it aims to provide a distinctive, premium look for prominent typography without relying on heavy weight.
Because the design relies on open contours, it will appear more delicate at small sizes and on low-resolution outputs; it gains presence and clarity when given ample size and clean background contrast. Numerals share the same outlined treatment and maintain a classic, slightly old-style feel in their curves and terminals.
