A delicate serif with pronounced stroke contrast and hairline finishing, built on upright, classical proportions. Serifs are fine and mostly bracketed, with subtly flared terminals that keep joins smooth rather than abrupt. The rhythm is open and spacious, with generous sidebearings and a calm baseline, while curves (C, O, Q) are clean and evenly tensioned. Lowercase forms read traditional and bookish, with a two-storey g, a compact, lightly hooked f, and a restrained, tapered ear on r; numerals follow the same high-contrast, light-footed construction.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, and other editorial or brand moments where refinement and contrast are assets. It also fits book covers, cultural programs, and formal invitations, especially when set with ample leading and not-too-small sizes.
The overall tone is sophisticated and quiet, projecting luxury and editorial polish rather than sturdiness or blunt utility. Its thin hairlines and poised contrast give it a fashion-magazine sheen, while the conventional skeleton keeps it familiar and literate.
The design appears intended as a contemporary take on a classic text serif, optimized to look graceful and high-end through strong contrast, fine finishing, and generous spacing. It aims to deliver an elegant reading texture in short to moderate passages while shining most in prominent typographic settings.
At larger sizes the crisp contrast and fine terminals feel precise and ornamental, but the very thin horizontals and hairlines suggest a more display-leaning sweet spot than dense, small-size settings. The wide spacing contributes to an airy texture in paragraph samples and makes capitals especially stately.
