A delicate serif with hairline-thin strokes and pronounced contrast between stems and connecting strokes. Serifs are fine and often slightly flared, with soft bracketing that lends a subtly calligraphic, engraved feel rather than a rigid mechanical one. Proportions are balanced and fairly classical, with roomy bowls and open apertures that keep the texture from collapsing despite the light weight. Curves are smooth and controlled; joins are crisp, and terminals tend to taper to sharp, refined endpoints, producing a polished, high-end page color.
Well suited to editorial design, book jackets, and magazine typography where a refined, high-contrast voice is desired. It also fits luxury-oriented branding and formal materials such as invitations or programs, and performs particularly well for headlines, pull quotes, and larger display sizes where its fine details can be appreciated.
The overall tone is cultured and poised, evoking book typography and editorial refinement. Its thin, high-contrast construction reads as luxurious and formal, with a quiet, literary sophistication rather than a blunt modern minimalism.
The design appears intended to provide a classic, bookish serif impression with a contemporary lightness—prioritizing elegance, contrast, and crisp detail to create a premium reading and display experience.
The numeral set mirrors the same high-contrast logic, with especially slender diagonals and fine hairlines that emphasize an airy, premium texture. In running text, spacing and rhythm feel measured and even, with clear letter separation and a graceful cadence across mixed-case settings.
