A delicate serif design with pronounced thick–thin contrast and hairline finishing strokes. Serifs are small and lightly bracketed, with tapered terminals that give curves a drawn, calligraphic feel rather than a purely geometric one. Proportions are open and generously spaced, with rounded bowls and a calm, even rhythm across words; the lowercase shows a two-storey “g” and a single-storey “a,” reinforcing a bookish, oldstyle-leaning texture despite the very light weight.
Well-suited to magazine and book typography, especially for headings, pull quotes, and elegant titling where its fine serifs and contrast can be appreciated. It also fits formal printed pieces such as invitations and programs, and brand applications in fashion, beauty, or culture that benefit from a light, sophisticated serif voice.
The overall tone is graceful and cultivated, projecting a quiet, editorial sophistication. Its light color and refined details feel formal and high-end, with a slightly nostalgic, literary character suited to classic publishing and cultural contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver a refined, high-contrast text serif with a contemporary lightness, balancing classical letterform cues with an airy, spacious texture for upscale editorial and display use.
At text sizes the hairline strokes and sharp transitions are visually prominent, so the face reads best when given room—either larger sizes or comfortable tracking and leading. Numerals and capitals share the same refined, high-contrast construction, keeping a consistent, polished color across mixed settings.
