A delicate, high-contrast serif with hairline horizontals and finely tapered curves. Serifs are small and bracketed, giving joins a smooth, calligraphic transition rather than abrupt slabs. The overall construction feels crisp and controlled, with generous counters and a light color on the page; round forms like O and Q are clean and open, while narrow strokes in E/F/T and the diagonals of V/W/X read razor-thin. Lowercase features include a two-storey g with a small ear, a gently cupped r, and tall, slender ascenders that reinforce an airy rhythm.
Well-suited for editorial typography such as magazine features, book covers, and section headings where a refined, high-contrast texture is desired. It also works effectively in branding and display settings—logos, invitations, and premium packaging—where the fine serifs and elegant modulation can be appreciated at larger sizes.
The tone is refined and literary, projecting a poised, editorial feel rather than a utilitarian one. Its lightness and sharp contrast lend a sense of luxury and formality, with an overall quiet sophistication suited to premium presentation.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic text-serif voice with a distinctly light, high-contrast finish, prioritizing elegance and typographic finesse over ruggedness. Its consistent modulation and restrained detailing suggest a focus on sophisticated composition in editorial and display contexts.
At text sizes the hairline strokes and fine serifs create a bright, shimmering texture, especially in dense passages; at larger sizes the detailing becomes a prominent stylistic feature. Numerals are similarly delicate and high-contrast, matching the letterforms with thin cross-strokes and elegant curves.
