A delicate, high-contrast serif with hairline thins and sharper, tapered joins that create a crisp, polished texture. Serifs are finely bracketed and often end in pointed or beaked terminals, giving strokes a slightly calligraphic snap without becoming decorative. Capitals are stately and open, with generous counters (notably in C, G, O) and a controlled, vertical stance. Lowercase forms keep a traditional rhythm with a two-storey a, compact e, and a double-storey g; ascenders are slender and prominent, and round letters show a subtle, elegant modulation. Numerals follow the same refined contrast, with curving forms and small finishing flicks that feel consistent with the letter terminals.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, book jackets, and cultured brand communications where an elegant, high-contrast serif is desired. It performs particularly well for headlines, pull quotes, and title treatments, and can also support body text in generous sizes and comfortable line spacing where its fine details can remain clear.
The overall tone is poised and cultivated, reading as formal and bookish rather than casual. Its thin strokes and sharp finishing details suggest luxury and precision, lending a quiet sophistication to headings and carefully set text.
The design appears intended as a contemporary take on a classical text serif, emphasizing refinement through strong stroke contrast, precise serifs, and a restrained, upright structure. Its letterforms prioritize grace and clarity, aiming to deliver an elevated, editorial voice rather than a utilitarian one.
At display sizes the fine hairlines and pointed terminals read especially clean and articulate, while in denser settings the contrast produces a bright, airy color on the page. The design maintains a consistent classical grammar across capitals, lowercase, and figures, with particular emphasis on graceful curves and neatly controlled stroke endings.
