A very delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp hairline terminals. Serifs are fine and mostly bracketed, with sharp, tapered ends that keep the overall color light and airy. Proportions feel classical with moderate contrast-driven rhythm, open counters, and a slightly calligraphic tension in curves and joins. Capitals are stately and well-spaced, while the lowercase maintains a measured cadence suitable for continuous setting.
Works well for book interiors, magazine features, and other editorial layouts where a light, high-contrast serif can add sophistication and pace. It also suits luxury-oriented branding, invitations, and headlines or pull quotes that benefit from a refined, sparkling texture.
The overall tone is polished and bookish, conveying sophistication without heaviness. Its high-contrast sparkle and thin finishing strokes suggest a premium, editorial sensibility associated with literature, fashion, and cultural institutions.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classical text serif: elegant, high-contrast forms with restrained detailing that read as premium and composed in longer passages while still offering display-level finesse at larger sizes.
The figures echo the same high-contrast construction, with elegant curves on rounded numerals and slender strokes that emphasize refinement over robustness. In text, the face maintains clarity through generous interior space, but the finest strokes read as intentionally delicate, making it most at home where rendering is clean and sizes are not too small.
