A decorative serif with a consistent inline treatment that creates a hollowed, double-stroked impression throughout the alphabet. Stems and bowls are drawn with an outer contour plus a parallel inner line, producing ribbon-like strokes and crisp negative channels, while terminals finish in sharp, bracketed wedge serifs. Proportions lean narrow-to-moderate with tall capitals, compact lowercase, and lively width changes across glyphs (notably in round letters and diagonals). Curves are smooth and slightly calligraphic, and the overall rhythm is refined rather than rigid, with distinctive inner lines carefully following counters and joins.
Best suited for headlines, titling, and short bursts of text where the inline detailing can be appreciated. It works well for branding and logotypes in fashion, hospitality, and cultural events, as well as packaging, menu covers, invitations, and period-inspired editorial pull quotes.
The tone is glamorous and ornamental, evoking Art Deco-era display lettering and boutique editorial styling. The inline hollows add a sense of sparkle and theatricality, giving headlines a dressed-up, ceremonial feel without becoming heavy or blocky.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif silhouette with added ornament via a controlled inline/outlined construction, creating a premium display voice that feels vintage yet polished. The consistent internal striping suggests a focus on decorative impact and brandable character rather than neutral body-text utility.
Readability is strongest at display sizes where the inner channels remain clear; at small sizes the fine internal lines and tight counters can visually merge. Numerals follow the same inline logic and feel cohesive with the caps, with especially decorative forms in curved figures like 2, 3, 5, 8, and 9.
