A delicate outline serif with hairline construction and open counters formed by double-line strokes. The design uses fine, evenly spaced contours that suggest a hollow, engraved look rather than solid fills. Serifs are small and crisp, with gently bracketed transitions and occasional tapered terminals; curves are smooth and controlled, and verticals feel dominant. Proportions are tall and slender, with generous internal white space and a slightly formal, bookish rhythm across the alphabet and figures.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, posters, magazine covers, invitations, and premium packaging where the outlined strokes can remain crisp. It also works for elegant wordmarks and short editorial titles, especially when paired with a more robust text face for body copy.
The overall tone is poised and airy, with a refined, gallery-like elegance. Its hollowed outlines evoke engraving, fashion titling, and display letterpress aesthetics, lending a decorative sophistication without feeling heavy or loud.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif silhouette with a modern, hollow/outlined treatment—prioritizing elegance and visual lightness while preserving traditional letterform structure. The consistent double-line logic suggests a deliberate focus on refined decorative impact for titling rather than dense text setting.
The thin outlines and open construction make the face sensitive to size and reproduction: it reads cleanly as large display type, while small sizes or low-resolution settings may cause the inner gaps and hairlines to soften or disappear. Numerals and caps maintain the same restrained, linear detailing, supporting a consistent, polished texture in headings.
