A delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and hairline finishing strokes. Serifs are small and sharply tapered with subtle bracketing, giving joins a smooth, carved feel rather than a blunt terminal. Bowls and rounds are generously open, with a calm, vertical stance and a measured rhythm that stays consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals. Letterforms show careful modulation in curves and diagonals—especially in characters like S, a, g, and y—producing a polished, high-end texture at display sizes.
Well suited to editorial typography—magazine headlines, book covers, chapter openers, and pull quotes—where contrast and refinement are assets. It also fits premium branding and packaging that benefit from a crisp, elegant serif voice. For longer text, it will perform best when set at sizes that preserve the thin strokes and avoid losing detail.
The overall tone is poised and sophisticated, leaning toward fashion, bookish, and cultural cues rather than utilitarian neutrality. Its lightness and contrast create a sense of luxury and restraint, with an airy, quiet confidence.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern-classic reading and display experience: traditional serif structure refined with high contrast and carefully tapered details for a luxurious, contemporary finish. It prioritizes elegance and typographic finesse over rugged, low-resolution robustness.
In the text sample, the fine hairlines and sharp terminals create a bright, shimmering page color, which will reward generous sizes and comfortable spacing. The numerals and capitals read formal and stately, while the lowercase adds gentle calligraphic nuance without becoming ornate.
