A high-contrast serif with delicate hairline serifs and crisp, tapered joins. The capitals are tall and spacious with classical proportions, while the lowercase keeps a moderate x-height and narrow, well-controlled rhythm. Curves are smoothly drawn with pronounced thick–thin transitions, and terminals tend toward fine, pointed finishes rather than blunt cuts. Numerals follow the same refined contrast, with slender stems and generous internal space, giving the set a light, airy color on the page.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, essays, and book interiors where a refined serif voice is desired. It also works effectively for invitations, cultural branding, and titling, particularly at larger sizes where the fine serifs and contrast read as intentional detail.
The overall tone feels polished and traditional, with a bookish, cultured presence. Its sharp detailing and thin serifs suggest formality and sophistication, evoking literary and editorial settings rather than casual or utilitarian ones.
The font appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast text serif that balances classical proportions with a light, modern delicacy. Its goal is to deliver an elegant reading texture and a premium feel in both display and carefully set text.
The design shows a consistent calligraphic logic in stroke modulation, especially in rounded letters and diagonals, producing a graceful, slightly dramatic texture at display sizes. Spacing appears comfortable and even in the sample text, supporting long-form reading when set with sufficient size and leading.
