A decorative serif built from slender outlined strokes with an interior inline that creates a double-line, hollowed effect throughout. Forms are mostly monoline in feel, with crisp wedge/bracketed serifs and frequent teardrop or ball-like terminals on curves and descenders. Proportions run slightly tall and refined, with generous counters and a clean, even rhythm that stays consistent from capitals through numerals. The outlines are smooth and controlled, giving the letters a precise, engraved look rather than a hand-drawn one.
Best suited for headlines, pull quotes, titles, and short bursts of text where the outlined construction can read clearly. It works well for fashion and lifestyle branding, event posters, premium packaging, and editorial display typography where a vintage, elevated voice is desired.
The overall tone is poised and ornamental, evoking vintage display typography with a refined, boutique sensibility. Its airy construction and double-line detail suggest sophistication and a touch of theatricality, making it feel more like a statement piece than a workhorse text face.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif silhouette while adding a distinctive hollow/inline treatment for high-impact display use. It aims to balance legibility with ornament by keeping strokes disciplined and spacing open, letting the outline detail provide the personality.
Distinctive moments include the curled tail on the capital Q, the single-storey a, and looped/curled features on letters like g, j, and y that add sparkle without becoming overly busy. Numerals follow the same outlined logic and feel cohesive in a display setting.
