A delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and fine, hairline serifs that taper to sharp points. Capitals are narrow-to-moderate in proportion with generous internal space, while round letters (C, O, Q) show smooth, continuous curves and a restrained, balanced stress. The lowercase pairs a relatively compact, readable x-height with long ascenders/descenders and clear, open counters; details like the two-storey g and the slender, curved tail on y add a subtly calligraphic flavor. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, mixing clean vertical stems with thin connecting strokes for an overall light, crisp rhythm.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, and section titles, as well as book jackets and cultural or fashion-oriented branding. It can also work for invitations and upscale packaging where a light, high-contrast serif can provide a premium voice.
The overall tone is poised and editorial, projecting sophistication through its airy weight, sharp finishing, and calm, formal posture. It feels bookish and cultured rather than decorative, with a quiet luxury that suits refined, high-end settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast text serif: elegant, restrained, and optimized for refined display and editorial settings while keeping conventional, familiar letterforms.
Because the thinnest strokes and serifs are extremely fine, the face reads best when given adequate size, good rendering, and comfortable spacing; the sample text shows a graceful texture with noticeable sparkle in highlights. The uppercase has a stately presence, while the lowercase maintains a smooth reading flow through consistent contrast and carefully controlled curves.
