A delicate serif with hairline strokes and crisp, high-contrast modulation. Stems are extremely thin and often paired with parallel inner strokes, creating an inline/outlined effect that reads like a double-line engraving. Serifs are sharp and lightly flared, with occasional curled terminals and small looped details in select forms, giving the design a lively, ornamental finish. Proportions feel open and slightly expansive, with generous counters and a refined, consistent vertical rhythm.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, titling, posters, book covers, and boutique branding where its inline engraving effect can read cleanly. It also fits invitations and editorial pull quotes, especially when ample size and spacing are available.
The overall tone is refined and slightly theatrical, mixing classical bookish elegance with a playful, decorative sparkle. Its engraved, double-stroke construction evokes vintage stationery and display typography while maintaining a poised, editorial feel.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a classical serif through an engraved, double-line treatment, prioritizing sophistication and visual character over dense text economy. The ornamental terminals and hairline contrast suggest a focus on distinctive, memorable display typography.
In text, the inline construction and hairlines create a light color on the page and emphasize negative space; the effect is most striking at larger sizes where the double strokes remain clearly separated. Curled terminals and looped details add personality and can become focal points in headings and short phrases.
