A delicate outlined serif with bracketed serifs and gently modulated curves, drawn as a single contour that leaves the interiors open. Proportions feel traditional with moderate capitals and a readable, mid-range x-height, while spacing stays even and calm in text. Curves are smooth and slightly calligraphic in places, with soft terminals and a subtle, oldstyle flavor in several lowercase forms and numerals.
Best suited for headlines, pull quotes, and short passages where the outlined construction can be appreciated. It works well on invitations, luxury or artisanal packaging, book or magazine covers, and brand marks that want a classic serif voice without a filled-in texture.
The open outline construction gives the face a light, elegant presence that reads as classic and literary rather than loud. Its tone suggests formality and taste—refined, slightly ornamental, and suited to designs that want tradition with a contemporary airy finish.
The design appears intended to translate a traditional serif model into an outline-only display treatment, keeping familiar book-type proportions while prioritizing elegance and negative space. It aims to provide a decorative, lightweight typographic color for titles and identity applications.
At display sizes the outline detail is crisp and the serif structure comes through clearly; at smaller sizes the single-line contour can visually thin out, so it benefits from generous size, contrasty backgrounds, or simplified layouts. Numerals and capitals carry a stately rhythm, while the lowercase adds a softer, more human cadence.
