A monoline outline face built from delicate hairline contours and frequent inline splits that create a hollow, double-stroke feel through many stems and bowls. The letterforms follow classical serif proportions with sharp, tapered terminals and small wedge-like serifs, while the outlines keep counters open and spacious. Curves are smooth and slightly geometric, with tall ascenders/descenders and a crisp, high-waisted rhythm that reads cleanly at display sizes. Numerals and capitals show consistent outlining and centered interior strokes, giving the set a cohesive, engraved look.
Best suited for headlines, titles, and short statements where the outline construction can stay crisp and legible. It works well for logotypes and premium packaging, event invitations, editorial display pull quotes, and poster typography where a refined, decorative voice is desired.
The overall tone is sophisticated and airy, with a fashion and art-deco-adjacent sparkle. Its fine outlines and ornamental interior lines suggest invitation lettering, boutique branding, and a polished, slightly theatrical elegance rather than utilitarian text setting.
Designed to deliver a classic serif silhouette while emphasizing delicacy through outline construction and inline detailing. The intent appears to be an elevated display face that evokes engraved lettering and early 20th-century decorative typography, prioritizing style and presence over small-size readability.
The distinctive inner stroke treatment appears across both uppercase and lowercase, producing a consistent “hollowed” presence even in simpler shapes. The spacing and proportions feel intentionally open, and the light contour work benefits from generous size and contrast-free backgrounds.
