A delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapered hairlines. Serifs are fine and sharp with a slightly calligraphic, bracketed feel, and terminals often finish in pointed or subtly flared ends. The overall rhythm is open and measured, with generous counters and smooth, rounded curves; capitals feel stately while lowercase forms keep a calm, readable texture. Numerals follow the same refined contrast, with graceful curves and thin joining strokes that emphasize a light, airy color on the page.
Well-suited to editorial design, book typography, and magazine layouts where a refined, high-contrast serif is desired. It also works effectively for display settings such as headlines, pull quotes, and elegant invitations or programs, especially in print or high-resolution digital contexts.
The font conveys a polished, cultivated tone—poised and formal without becoming ornamental. Its high-contrast drawing and slender detailing suggest luxury and tradition, lending a quiet sophistication suited to cultural and literary contexts.
The design appears intended to offer a contemporary take on classical text serifs: prioritizing elegance, contrast, and clean typographic color while maintaining conventional proportions for comfortable reading in well-produced layouts.
Diagonal strokes and joins (notably in V/W and in the lowercase with angled entries) show a subtle calligraphic influence, helping the forms feel lively despite their restraint. The very fine hairlines and small details look best when given adequate size and spacing, where the sharp serifs and contrast can remain clear.
