A delicate outline serif with an inline, hollow construction: letterforms are drawn with a thin outer contour and an inner contour that creates an open, engraved look. The serifs are bracketed and softly shaped, with gentle flaring at terminals and restrained, oldstyle-influenced proportions in the lowercase. Curves are smooth and continuous, and the overall rhythm stays even despite the light stroke and open counters; numerals and capitals retain clear, traditional skeletons while remaining airy due to the outlined treatment.
Best suited to display applications where the outline detail can be appreciated: headlines, poster titles, packaging panels, book or album covers, and event/invitation typography. It can also work for short pull quotes or mastheads when given sufficient size and contrast against the background.
The font reads as elegant and nostalgic, evoking engraved stationery, book titling, and classic display typography. Its fine linework and open interiors add a slightly playful, ornamental character without becoming overly decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif voice with an engraved, hollow finish—adding visual distinction and lightness for display settings while keeping familiar letter structures for readability.
Because the design relies on thin contours rather than filled strokes, it visually lightens large forms and can appear more fragile at small sizes or low-resolution output. The outline construction also increases sparkle and texture in headlines, especially in all-caps settings.
