A delicate, high-contrast serif with very thin hairlines and sharply tapered stroke endings. Serifs are fine and mostly bracketed, producing crisp terminals and a polished, bookish rhythm. The letterforms show moderated proportions with clear, open counters and a steady baseline; the lowercase reads cleanly with a conventional two-storey “g” and restrained, slightly angled stress in rounded forms. Numerals match the text color with similarly thin joins and elegant curves, keeping an overall light, airy texture in paragraphs.
Well-suited to editorial settings such as magazines, cultural publications, and elegant book typography, especially for headings, pull quotes, and refined body copy at comfortable sizes. It also fits formal communication—invites, programs, and premium brand materials—where a light, high-contrast serif can signal taste and sophistication.
The font conveys a poised, cultured tone—quietly luxurious rather than loud—evoking fashion/editorial typography and traditional literary refinement. Its thin hairlines and crisp detailing suggest sophistication and precision, making text feel elevated and formal.
The design appears intended as a modern, conventional text serif with an emphasis on finesse: thin hairlines, crisp serifs, and a controlled rhythm aimed at producing an elevated reading experience and a high-end typographic voice.
In the sample text the spacing and contrast create a bright, sparkling page color, with strong vertical emphasis in stems and carefully tapered diagonals in letters like V, W, and Y. The design’s fine details are visually prominent, so it benefits from comfortable sizes and good reproduction conditions where the hairlines can remain intact.
