A delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and hairline finishing, built on upright, broadly proportioned letterforms. Serifs are fine and mostly bracketed, with crisp terminals and a polished, print-oriented rhythm. Counters are generous and open, and the overall texture stays light on the page even at larger sizes. Numerals follow the same refined, high-contrast logic with understated, classical curves.
Well-suited to magazine layouts, book and journal typography, and other editorial settings where a refined serif texture is desired. It also works effectively for display roles such as covers, pull quotes, and formal announcements where the airy contrast can shine.
The font reads as elegant and cultivated, with an airy, upscale tone that recalls traditional book and magazine typography. Its light color and sharp details feel formal and careful rather than friendly or rugged.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, print-centric serif voice with a modern, fashion/editorial lightness—prioritizing elegance, contrast, and spacious proportions for polished typography.
Wide capitals and open bowls give headlines a stately presence, while the very thin hairlines and small details suggest it will reward clean rendering and adequate sizing. The lowercase shows a smooth, classical flow with crisp joins and restrained character, keeping the overall voice conservative and editorial.
