A delicate, high-contrast text serif with thin hairline serifs and tapered terminals. Curves are smooth and generously rounded, while joins feel carefully drawn and slightly calligraphic in their modulation. Proportions are balanced with a moderate x-height, roomy counters, and a fairly open, even rhythm in running text. Numerals follow the same refined logic, mixing strong vertical stress with light finishing strokes for a crisp, airy presence.
Well-suited to editorial typography—magazine features, books, essays, and cultural writing—where its high contrast and open forms can shine. It also works nicely for refined brand systems, invitations, and headlines that benefit from a light, classical serif voice. For long passages, generous leading and avoiding overly small sizes helps preserve its fine details.
The overall tone is polished and literary, conveying classic sophistication without feeling heavy or ornamental. Its light color and crisp contrast give it a poised, editorial character suited to quiet authority rather than loud display.
The design appears intended to deliver a modernized classical serif feel: elegant contrast, restrained detailing, and a clean, readable rhythm for polished text composition.
In the samples, the face relies on ample whitespace and fine details, so it reads most confidently when given comfortable sizes and line spacing. The design’s thin horizontals and serifs create a distinctly bright texture across paragraphs.
