A delicate, high-contrast serif with hairline connections and crisp, finely tapered serifs. The design favors vertical emphasis and smooth, round bowls, with clean joins and a calm, even rhythm across text. Uppercase forms are stately and open, while the lowercase shows a traditional text structure with two-storey a and g, a slender f, and a lightly bracketed, controlled modulation that keeps counters clear despite the thin strokes. Numerals appear similarly refined, with thin horizontals and graceful curves that match the letterforms’ polished contrast.
Well suited to editorial typography where elegance and contrast are assets—magazine headlines, pull quotes, and high-end layouts. It also fits premium branding and formal materials such as invitations or identity wordmarks, particularly when set with generous spacing and ample size.
The overall tone is poised and cultivated, projecting a quiet luxury rather than overt ornament. Its sharp detail and airy strokes evoke editorial sophistication, lending text a formal, literary atmosphere.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-contrast serif voice with modern cleanliness—prioritizing elegance, sharp detail, and a composed reading rhythm for sophisticated typographic contexts.
At larger sizes the fine strokes and knife-like terminals read as especially crisp, while in denser settings the extreme contrast creates a bright, shimmering texture. The punctuation and ampersand maintain the same restrained, high-fashion refinement seen in the letterforms.
