A delicate, high-contrast serif with slender hairlines and crisp, slightly bracketed serifs. The letterforms show a strong vertical axis with smooth, calligraphic modulation—thin joins and pronounced thick stems—creating a light, airy color on the page. Uppercase proportions feel stately and measured, while the lowercase keeps open counters and clear apertures for readability. Numerals are similarly refined, with narrow strokes and elegant curves that match the text rhythm.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, book typography, and magazine settings where a refined serif voice is desired. It can also support upscale branding, packaging, and invitations, especially in headlines and subheads where its contrast and sharp serifs can be appreciated.
The overall tone is poised and polished, projecting a cultured, editorial sensibility. Its fine detailing and controlled contrast communicate sophistication and formality without becoming ornate, making it feel suited to premium, traditional typography.
The font appears intended as a contemporary take on a classic text serif: prioritizing elegance, strong typographic hierarchy, and a calm reading rhythm through high contrast and carefully finished serifs.
The design relies on fine stroke connections and tapered terminals, so it benefits from comfortable sizes and good reproduction conditions where the hairlines can remain intact. Spacing appears balanced and even, supporting smooth reading in longer lines.
