A slanted outline serif with open, hollow letterforms drawn as a clean double-line contour. The design shows a classic italic construction with tapered joins, sharp wedge-like serifs, and smoothly rounded bowls that keep the counters generous despite the outline treatment. Strokes feel lightly modeled, with modest thick–thin behavior visible through the spacing of the contours, and a generally wide stance that gives capitals and numerals ample horizontal room. Curves are crisp and consistent, while terminals and entry strokes add a subtly calligraphic rhythm across the alphabet.
Best suited to display settings where the outline can be appreciated: headlines, pull quotes, cover lines, posters, and identity work. It can also work well for premium packaging and invitation-style typography when paired with a solid text face for longer reading.
The font reads as refined and old-world, echoing engraved or fashion-plate typography while staying bright and lightweight due to the hollow construction. Its slant and sharp detailing add a sense of motion and sophistication, creating a polished, editorial tone rather than a casual one.
The likely intent is to offer a decorative italic serif that feels classic and upscale, using an outline construction to create an airy, attention-getting voice without adding visual weight. The consistent contour drawing and traditional letter skeleton suggest a design aimed at elegant display typography with a vintage editorial flavor.
The outline approach emphasizes interior whitespace and makes the face sensitive to background complexity, while also giving large sizes a distinctive, poster-like presence. Numerals follow the same italicized, outlined logic, keeping the overall texture uniform across letters and figures.
