A delicate outline serif with monoline contours and open counters, drawing each glyph as a clean, continuous outer stroke. Proportions lean classical, with moderate x-height, gently bracketed serifs, and rounded bowls that keep the rhythm even across capitals and lowercase. Curves are smooth and consistent, terminals are restrained, and the spacing reads generous, letting the interior whitespace do much of the visual work. Numerals follow the same outlined treatment with straightforward, readable forms and minimal ornament.
Best suited for headlines, titles, and other display settings where the outline can stay crisp and prominent. It works well for invitations, fashion or beauty branding, premium packaging, and logo wordmarks—especially where an elegant, understated decorative serif is desired.
The overall tone is refined and airy, with a poised, slightly formal character that feels boutique and editorial. Its hollow construction gives it a light, display-forward presence—more about atmosphere and elegance than density or punch.
The design appears intended to translate a classic serif skeleton into a lightweight, contour-drawn display style, emphasizing negative space and refinement. It prioritizes an upscale look and visual delicacy over text robustness, making it ideal for stylish, high-contrast compositions.
Because the design relies on thin contour lines, the face visually depends on sufficient size and contrast with the background; the outline can appear faint at small scales or in busy contexts. The letterforms remain traditional enough to stay legible in short runs, while the outline effect keeps it firmly in decorative territory.
