A very delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and fine, hairline terminals. The letterforms feel tightly drawn and controlled, with smooth bowls, sharp joins, and narrow, tapering serifs that stay unobtrusive. Proportions read as classical: capitals are stately with generous curves (notably in C, G, O, Q), while the lowercase keeps a measured rhythm and a moderate x-height. Details like the single-storey a and g, the long descenders, and the slender figures reinforce an overall light, precise texture that favors larger sizes.
Best suited to headlines, deck copy, pull quotes, and editorial layouts where the fine contrast can breathe. It also fits premium branding, fashion and beauty communications, packaging accents, and formal invitations—especially when used at comfortable sizes with ample leading.
The tone is polished and elevated, conveying a fashion-forward, literary sensibility. Its high-contrast stroke modulation and minimal serifs create a sense of luxury and restraint, lending a calm, sophisticated voice rather than an informal or utilitarian one.
The design appears intended to deliver a modernized classic serif voice: high contrast, minimal serifs, and carefully composed curves that signal sophistication and clarity in display and editorial typography.
In running text, the spacing and thin horizontals contribute to an airy color that can feel delicate; the design’s sharp contrast and fine serifs read especially crisp in display settings. Numerals are similarly refined and open, matching the capitals in formality and lightness.
