A very delicate serif with hairline strokes and sharply tapered terminals that keep the forms crisp and open. Capitals are high-waisted with generous counters and a restrained, classical structure, while the lowercase is narrow and compact with a noticeably small x-height and tall ascenders/descenders. Serifs are fine and bracketed to lightly cupped, and joins stay clean rather than chunky, giving the text a bright, breathable color. Curves are smooth and continuous, and diagonals (V, W, Y) feel slender and precise, reinforcing the overall lightness.
Best suited to editorial headlines, book and magazine titling, pull quotes, and other applications where fine detail and refined proportions can be appreciated. It also fits premium branding, packaging, and formal stationery when paired with ample whitespace and comfortable tracking.
The font conveys a quiet, cultivated elegance—more poised than expressive—suggesting editorial refinement and formal typography. Its airy hairlines and tall proportions read as sophisticated and slightly old-world, lending a sense of luxury without overt ornamentation.
The design appears intended as a contemporary take on a classical text serif, prioritizing elegance, restraint, and high-waisted proportions over robustness. Its consistent, hairline detailing suggests it was drawn to deliver a polished, upscale tone in display and high-quality editorial contexts.
At larger sizes the hairline details and tapered stroke endings become a defining feature, while in smaller settings the thin horizontals and small x-height can make the texture feel more shimmering than dense. Numerals share the same slender, high-contrast sensibility, aligning well with the letterforms for display-oriented composition.
