A decorative outline serif built from hairline contours, with an inline/striped effect created by paired outlines that read like a double-stroked skeleton. Strokes stay consistently thin and even, with gentle, rounded joins and small, sharp serifs that feel engraved rather than bracketed. Curves are smooth and generous, counters are open, and terminals often finish with subtle flicks or tapered hooks, especially in lowercase. Proportions are classical and slightly tall, with modest x-height and ample internal space that emphasizes the hollow construction.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, wordmarks, and short editorial titles where the outline detailing can read clearly. It also fits premium packaging, event materials, and poster typography that benefits from an airy, decorative serif presence.
The overall tone is poised and ornamental, evoking vintage display typography with a light, jewelry-like delicacy. Its double-line detailing gives it a polished, boutique feel—elegant and refined, with a faint playful curl in the lowercase and numerals.
Likely designed as a light, ornamented display serif that combines classic letterform structure with an outline/inline treatment to create a refined, vintage-leaning look for prominent, attention-getting text.
The outline construction makes the letters visually bright on white backgrounds but more dependent on size and reproduction quality than solid text faces. Rounded forms like O/Q/8 and the curling descenders (notably g, y) contribute to a rhythmic, calligraphic flow without becoming cursive.
