A delicate outline serif with hairline construction and a clean, continuous outer contour. The letterforms are built from narrow, evenly spaced outlines that read as hollow shapes, with occasional inline-like doubling in vertical stems that enhances the engraved feel. Proportions are classical and restrained, with moderate capitals, a balanced x-height, and softly rounded terminals and serifs that keep the thin geometry from feeling brittle. Curves are smooth and open, counters are generous, and the rhythm is consistent across letters and figures, producing a refined, lightly ornamental texture at display sizes.
Best suited for headlines, pull quotes, covers, and branding moments where the outline construction can be appreciated. It also works well for invitations, fashion/beauty packaging, and elegant labels where a light, ornamental serif presence is desired.
The overall tone is graceful and sophisticated, evoking boutique editorial styling and a sense of quiet luxury. Its whisper-thin outlines feel light, cultured, and slightly theatrical, lending a curated, gallery-like atmosphere rather than a utilitarian one.
The design appears intended to translate a traditional serif foundation into an outline-driven display style—prioritizing elegance, whitespace, and a refined engraved mood over body-text solidity. The consistent hairline outline and gentle serif treatment suggest a focus on upscale, decorative typography for prominent, spacious settings.
Because the design relies on extremely thin outlines and interior whitespace, it benefits from ample size and contrasty printing or high-resolution screens. In dense paragraphs the hollow construction can visually shimmer, while in headlines it reads as crisp and distinctive.
