This serif has an extremely light color with delicate hairlines and tapered strokes, giving it an airy, high-end texture on the page. Serifs are fine and subtly flared rather than blocky, and curves are smooth with a slightly calligraphic modulation that keeps the rhythm lively without feeling ornate. Capitals are tall and slender with generous sidebearings, while the lowercase shows open counters and a restrained, bookish structure; the two-storey “g” is notably elegant and the “e” has a thin, crisp cross-stroke. Figures are similarly light and stylized, with narrow forms and curved terminals that match the letterforms’ refinement.
Best suited for larger text sizes where the hairline details can breathe—magazine features, book titling, pull quotes, and refined brand materials. It can work in short paragraphs in high-quality print or carefully tuned digital settings, but it will be most reliable when given ample size, leading, and contrast against the background.
The overall tone is poised and literary—more salon and editorial than utilitarian. Its thin, polished strokes read as sophisticated and cultured, suggesting formality and careful typography rather than casual or rugged use.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classical text serifs: thin, elegant, and highly readable at display sizes, emphasizing refinement, spaciousness, and a premium editorial voice.
Spacing appears intentionally generous, which enhances the font’s luminous feel and helps prevent the hairline details from clumping in setting. The design maintains consistency between roman curves and straight stems, producing a calm, even cadence across long text despite the very light weight.
