A decorative serif with an outlined, inline construction that creates a double-stroke effect around each letterform. Strokes are consistently thin and crisp with smooth, rounded curves on bowls and a restrained, bracketless serif treatment that reads clean rather than calligraphic. Proportions lean slightly narrow with tall capitals and a tidy, controlled rhythm; counters stay open thanks to the outline structure. Numerals and punctuation follow the same linear, contour-driven logic, giving the face a cohesive, engraved feel across the set.
Well-suited to display settings such as headlines, posters, brand marks, packaging, and storefront or event signage where the outline detail can be appreciated. It works especially well when paired with simpler supporting text and used at medium to large sizes for clear reproduction.
The overall tone is sophisticated and period-flavored, evoking signage and titling from early 20th‑century editorial and hospitality contexts. Its airy outlines feel polished and slightly theatrical, balancing elegance with a hint of glamour.
The design appears intended to deliver a refined, decorative outline serif for attention-grabbing titles, leveraging consistent contour strokes and inline detailing to create an engraved, Art Deco–leaning presence without relying on heavy contrast.
The inline/outline detailing is visually prominent and tends to thin out the apparent color on the page, so the design reads best when given space and sufficient size. Curved letters (C, G, O, Q) emphasize the smooth contour work, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) showcase the crisp linear construction.
