A delicate serif with high-waisted proportions, fine hairlines, and small bracketed serifs that taper cleanly into the stems. Curves are smooth and controlled, with narrow bowls and a restrained, consistent rhythm that stays crisp even at larger sizes. The lowercase shows traditional, readable forms with a two-storey “g” and a gently angled “e” cross-stroke, while the numerals and caps keep a quiet, formal structure with careful spacing and an overall light, precise color.
Best suited for headlines, pull quotes, and larger text settings where the fine detailing and narrow letterforms can breathe. It works well for editorial design, book jackets, cultural branding, and formal collateral such as invitations, where a light, refined serif is desired.
The tone is elegant and composed, leaning toward literary and fashion-adjacent refinement rather than bold display. Its light build and crisp detailing suggest sophistication, restraint, and a premium editorial feel.
The design appears intended to provide a modern, high-end take on a conventional text serif: maintaining classical proportions and familiar letterforms while emphasizing lightness, finesse, and a tidy vertical rhythm for polished typography in contemporary layouts.
Round characters (C, O, Q) are notably slender and vertically emphasized, and diagonals (V, W, Y) stay sharp without becoming brittle. The ampersand and punctuation in the sample read as understated and classical, matching the font’s overall measured, graceful cadence.
