A refined inline serif with hairline outer contours and a secondary inner stroke that creates a hollowed, double-line effect. The letterforms are classical and upright with crisp, flared serifs, smooth curves, and small ornamental terminals; several glyphs show gentle curls and teardrop-like finishes (notably in J, Q, and some lowercase). Stroke modulation reads as subtle-to-moderate, but the overall impression stays airy due to the outlined construction and consistent internal striping. Spacing appears generous and the figures follow the same outlined, decorative logic, with oldstyle-like curves and distinctive swashes on several numerals.
Best suited to display settings such as magazine titles, fashion and beauty branding, boutique packaging, event invitations, and poster work where the inline outline can read cleanly. It can also add a vintage accent to short pull quotes or section headers when used with ample size and breathing room.
The font projects a polished, vintage-luxe tone—poised and decorative rather than utilitarian. Its inline detailing evokes early 20th‑century display typography, suggesting sophistication, theater marquees, and high-end editorial styling.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif silhouette with added decorative depth through inline contouring, creating a premium, retro display voice without relying on heavy stroke weight.
The inner line is generally offset in a way that emphasizes vertical stems and bowls, producing a rhythmic, engraved feel. At smaller sizes the fine contour and internal linework may visually merge, while at headline sizes the layered outlines become a prominent stylistic feature.
