A decorative outline serif with monoline outer contours and a consistent inner inline that creates a hollow, double-stroked effect. Proportions lean tall with generous cap height and a moderate x-height, while curves are smooth and round (notably in C, O, Q, and numerals) and joins stay clean and deliberate. Serifs are present but restrained, reading as fine slabs or lightly flared terminals that keep the letterforms crisp without heavy bracketing. Overall spacing feels open, and the outline construction makes counters and interior apertures prominent at display sizes.
Best suited to display typography such as headlines, posters, logotypes, packaging, and invitations where the outline-and-inline detailing can be appreciated. It can also work for short pull quotes or section headers in editorial layouts, but extended small-size text is likely to lose definition due to the fine outlined construction.
The inline-outline treatment and refined serif structure give the font a vintage, Art Deco-leaning elegance with a bit of theatrical flair. It reads polished and decorative rather than utilitarian, suggesting classic luxury, signage, and editorial titling moods.
The font appears designed to deliver a refined, decorative outline look that feels classic and slightly glamorous, emphasizing letterform silhouettes and interior detailing over dense text efficiency. Its consistent monoline contouring and balanced proportions suggest an intention to provide a versatile display face for titles and branding with a vintage sensibility.
Because the strokes are drawn as contours rather than filled forms, the design relies on sufficient size and contrast for clarity; the hollow construction is most legible when the internal inline has room to breathe. Numerals and capitals carry the strongest presence, with rounded figures and distinctive interior detailing that reinforce the display character.
