A serifed outline design with a second inner contour that creates an inline, hollowed look through most strokes. Letterforms are based on traditional Roman proportions with moderate contrast and crisp terminals, while the double-line construction emphasizes vertical stems and adds a decorative rhythm. Curves (C, O, G, S) remain smooth and open, and diagonals (V, W, X, Y) keep a sharp, engraved character. Numerals follow the same outlined/inline treatment, with the 1 and 7 particularly slender and the 8 and 0 showing clean, symmetrical counters.
Best suited to display settings where the outlined construction can be appreciated—headlines, titles, posters, invitations, packaging, and brand marks. It can also work for short editorial pull quotes or cover typography, especially when paired with a simpler text face for body copy.
The overall tone is classical and polished, like engraved titling or vintage book typography. The outline-and-inline treatment adds a slightly theatrical, display-forward presence that feels formal rather than playful, lending an elegant, boutique mood.
The design appears intended to translate classical serif letterforms into a decorative, engraved-style outline with an added inline, creating a premium display look that stands out without relying on heavy weight. It prioritizes elegance and stylistic detail for titling and branding applications.
Because the strokes are drawn as contours rather than filled forms, the texture can look delicate at small sizes, while the internal linework becomes a defining feature at larger sizes. Spacing appears airy, and the consistent inner contour helps maintain cohesion across capitals, lowercase, and figures.
