A delicate serif with fine hairline terminals and crisp, tapered serifs that read as sharply cut rather than blunt. Strokes are consistently slim, with modest thick–thin modulation and a smooth, even rhythm through the alphabet. Proportions are relatively compact, with tall capitals and restrained, tidy lowercase forms; curves (C, O, e) are clean and controlled, while joins and bowls stay narrow and precise. Numerals follow the same light, formal treatment, with elegant curves and minimal ornament.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, essays, and literary material where a refined serif voice is desired. It also fits premium branding and formal collateral—invites, programs, and packaging—especially when used at display sizes or with generous spacing to maintain its delicate stroke detail.
The overall tone is poised and cultivated, evoking bookish sophistication and editorial calm. Its light color on the page feels airy and polished, lending a sense of restraint and formality without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a traditional text serif: light-footed, crisp, and elegant, with enough structure for continuous reading while retaining a distinctly refined, high-end character.
Serif shaping is consistent across caps and lowercase, with pointed, subtly calligraphic cues in diagonals and terminals (notably in letters like A, V, W, and y). In paragraph-like sample text the texture remains refined and even, though the thin strokes suggest it will look best when given sufficient size or printing/screen conditions that preserve fine details.
