A delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharply tapered terminals. The serifs are small and finely bracketed, with subtle flaring where strokes end, giving stems a gently widened finish rather than blunt cuts. Curves are smooth and slightly calligraphic, and the overall color is light and airy with generous counters. Proportions feel traditional and balanced, with relatively narrow capitals, compact lowercase, and slender numerals that maintain the same high-contrast rhythm.
Best suited to editorial typography where elegance and contrast are an asset: magazine titles, book covers, pull quotes, and high-end brand materials. It can also work for formal invitations and packaging, particularly where ample size and spacing preserve the thin strokes and nuanced terminals.
The font conveys a poised, cultured tone—quietly luxurious rather than loud. Its crisp contrast and fine detailing suggest formality and craft, while the restrained flare at terminals adds a hint of warmth and sophistication suited to literary and fashion-adjacent aesthetics.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classical serif refinement—prioritizing contrast, sharp finishing, and graceful curves for premium display and editorial settings, while keeping a composed, traditional structure for readable text in short to moderate passages.
Diagonal joins and curved strokes (notably in letters like V/W, S, and R) show controlled tapering that keeps text looking sharp at display sizes. The lowercase has a classic book-face cadence, and the punctuation and figures harmonize with the same refined, hairline-driven detailing.
