A very delicate serif with hairline strokes and crisp, sharply finished terminals. The letterforms show a distinctly calligraphic, oldstyle-influenced construction: rounded joins, tapered serifs, and gently modulated curves that keep counters open despite the thin weight. Proportions are balanced and readable, with moderate ascenders/descenders and a smooth rhythm in continuous text; numerals are equally light and streamlined with graceful curves and fine entry/exit strokes.
Best suited to editorial typography, magazine headlines, pull quotes, and elegant brand systems where a light, cultivated serif is desired. It also fits invitations and packaging that benefit from a refined, high-end tone, and can work for short-to-medium text when set with comfortable size and spacing.
The overall tone is poised and quiet, projecting sophistication and restraint rather than boldness. Its thin, polished drawing reads as editorial and fashion-adjacent, with a subtly classic, bookish character that still feels clean and current.
The font appears designed to deliver a refined, fashion/editorial serif voice through hairline detailing and classical proportions, prioritizing elegance and typographic color over ruggedness. Its consistent modulation and careful curves suggest an intention to feel premium and literary in both display and well-spaced text settings.
The design relies on finely drawn hairlines and small details (notably in the curved letters and the more decorative lowercases like g, j, and y), which can add charm at display sizes but may require sufficient size or print quality to avoid thinning out.
