A delicate serif with hairline strokes and gently tapered terminals, showing a poised calligraphic influence without joining. Serifs are fine and sharp, with smooth, controlled curves and a restrained contrast that stays elegant rather than dramatic. Capitals feel tall and open, while the lowercase maintains a calm rhythm with softly modeled bowls and slender stems; details like the ear and hooks read as lightly drawn and intentional. Numerals follow the same thin, elegant construction, favoring clarity through simple forms and balanced spacing.
Well-suited to headlines, pull quotes, and short-to-medium editorial text where a refined, airy serif can shine. It also fits invitations, boutique branding, and packaging that benefits from a formal, graceful voice. Because the strokes are extremely fine, it will read best at comfortable sizes and in high-contrast printing or screen conditions.
The overall tone is quiet, cultured, and refined, evoking editorial sophistication and a handwritten formality. Its light touch and crisp serifs lend a tasteful, almost bookish elegance suited to high-end or ceremonial settings rather than casual utility.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif structure with a light calligraphic sensibility, creating an elegant display-to-text face that feels handmade yet controlled. It prioritizes sophistication and visual finesse through thin strokes, sharp serifs, and generous, calm letterforms.
Round letters (C, O, Q and their lowercase counterparts) appear especially smooth and spacious, helping text feel open on the page. The design leans on subtle calligraphic gestures—small flicks and tapered joins—while keeping a consistent, disciplined skeleton across the set.
