A delicate serif with pronounced stroke contrast and crisp, tapering hairlines. Serifs are fine and mostly bracketed, giving joins a soft, chiseled transition rather than blunt terminals. Proportions run a bit open and generously spaced, with narrow stems and ample interior counters that keep text from feeling dense. Curves are smoothly drawn and slightly calligraphic in stress, while diagonals (V/W/Y) remain sharp and clean, reinforcing a precise, polished rhythm.
Best suited for display and larger text settings such as editorial headlines, book or chapter titling, magazine layouts, invitations, and refined brand identities. The fine hairlines and strong contrast favor high-quality printing or sufficiently large on-screen sizes, where the subtle serif shaping and open counters can be appreciated.
The overall tone is poised and cultivated, with an airy sophistication that reads as editorial and classical rather than rustic. Its thin details and high contrast lend a sense of luxury and formality, while the open shapes keep it feeling calm and readable at display sizes.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional, literature-friendly serif voice with a modern, light-handed finish—prioritizing elegance, spaciousness, and crisp contrast for sophisticated typography.
Capitals present a stately, inscriptional feel, and the numerals follow the same refined contrast, with graceful curves and light finishing strokes. The italicless, upright presentation emphasizes clarity and structure, while delicate terminals and tapered strokes add finesse without becoming overly ornamental.
