A delicate text serif with tall proportions and a light, crisp stroke. Serifs are fine and sharply bracketed, and terminals tend toward tapered, calligraphic endings that keep counters open and forms uncluttered. The overall rhythm is orderly and vertical, with modest stroke modulation and a clean baseline presence; round letters stay smooth and controlled, while diagonals and joins remain restrained and precise. Numerals appear similarly lightweight and formal, matching the thin serifs and narrow footprints of the capitals.
Well-suited to editorial settings such as magazine layouts, book typography, and refined headlines where a light, sophisticated serif is desired. It can also support premium branding and packaging when used at sizes that preserve its fine serifs and delicate joins.
The tone is poised and understated, projecting an editorial, cultivated elegance rather than overt display. Its fine detailing and generous whitespace give it a quiet luxury—appropriate for polished, modern-classic typography.
The design intention appears to be a contemporary, classical text serif that delivers elegance through thin serifs, controlled modulation, and tall, economical proportions. It aims for a polished literary and editorial voice with a clean, modern restraint.
In the text sample, the thin serifs and light hairlines create a bright page color and emphasize spacing; it reads best when given comfortable size and leading so the fine details don’t visually close up. The design favors clarity and refinement over robustness, with a consistent, disciplined silhouette across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
