A delicate, hairline outline serif with monoline construction and open counters formed by a single continuous contour. The design uses tall, slightly condensed capitals with crisp bracketless serifs and a consistent, even stroke rhythm, while many glyphs show a distinctive inline/double-line feel where parallel contours run close together. Curves are clean and geometric-leaning, with oval bowls and precise joins; numerals follow the same outlined logic, keeping a light footprint and clear interior space. Overall spacing reads measured and formal, with letterforms that prioritize silhouette and negative space over stroke mass.
Well-suited for headlines, mastheads, and short display lines where the outline detailing remains legible. It can add sophistication to branding marks, beauty/fashion packaging, event invitations, and editorial pull quotes, particularly when paired with a solid companion for body text.
The overall tone is poised and upscale, with a quiet theatricality created by the outline treatment. It evokes fashion editorial and classic display typography—polished, ornamental, and a little nostalgic—while staying restrained rather than flamboyant.
The font appears intended as a refined display face that turns classic serif proportions into a lightweight outline statement. Its goal is to deliver elegance and ornament through contour and negative space, creating a premium look without heavy contrast or fill.
At text sizes the outlines visually lighten further, so the design reads best when given room and sufficient size for the contours and inner gaps to remain distinct. The outline construction also creates a strong interplay of positive/negative space that can feel luminous on light backgrounds and especially striking when reversed.
