A delicate, high-contrast serif with very thin hairlines and sharper, darker vertical stems. Serifs are fine and elegant, tending toward hairline terminals with subtle bracketing rather than blunt slabs. Round characters show a smooth, controlled curve with a slightly calligraphic stress, and joins are clean with minimal flare. Proportions feel balanced and traditional, with moderate ascenders/descenders and carefully spaced forms that keep the overall texture light and open.
Best suited to display and larger text sizes such as magazine headlines, book jackets, pull quotes, and elegant branding. It can work for short passages when set with comfortable size and leading, where its light color and fine hairlines have enough room to reproduce cleanly.
The overall tone is refined and understated, evoking classic book and magazine typography with a modern, airy polish. Its thin detailing and crisp contrasts suggest sophistication and restraint rather than warmth or informality.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif voice with heightened elegance through strong stroke contrast and restrained, precise detailing. It aims for a premium, editorial look that feels timeless while remaining visually light on the page.
Uppercase forms read stately and composed, while the lowercase introduces a gentle liveliness through small details like the two-storey “g” and the more expressive “j” and “y” descenders. Numerals appear similarly elegant, with thin strokes and graceful curves that match the text rhythm.
