A crisp outline serif with an inline, double-stroke construction that creates a hollow, engraved look. Letterforms are built from smooth, monoline contours with small wedge-like terminals and occasional pointed joins, giving a refined, decorative rhythm rather than a text-face density. Capitals are broad and stately with open counters and clean geometry; curves (C, G, O, Q) read as polished arcs, and the diagonal forms (V, W, X, Y) keep a sharp, formal posture. Lowercase follows the same outlined logic with slightly calligraphic shaping and clear separation between inner and outer contours, maintaining consistency across letters and numerals.
Best suited to display typography where the outline/inline detail can be appreciated: headlines, event or theatrical posters, boutique packaging, editorial titling, and logo wordmarks. It also fits invitations and menu-style materials where a formal, vintage-leaning voice is desirable and sizes are large enough to keep the counters open.
The overall tone feels glamorous and period-minded, evoking early 20th-century signage, theater programs, and engraved stationery. Its hollow inline structure reads as dressy and ceremonial, lending a curated, boutique quality to words and short phrases.
The design appears intended to translate classic serif proportions into a decorative outline with an inline accent, mimicking engraved or neon-tube drawing while staying orderly and legible in short runs. The goal seems to be a refined, attention-getting display face that adds ornament without relying on heavy contrast.
The outline construction can visually thin out at small sizes, while at larger sizes the double-line detailing becomes the main character. Spacing appears generous in sample text, helping the interior gaps stay open and preserving the filigreed effect.
