A delicate serif with hairline strokes and a strongly vertical, fine-lined texture. Serifs are small and tapered, with sharp terminals and a generally crisp, high-contrast feel despite the overall lightness. Proportions are narrow and tall, with generous ascenders and descenders that add an airy rhythm in text. Curves are smooth and controlled, and the numeral set follows the same slender, refined construction.
Best suited to display and larger text settings such as editorial headlines, magazine typography, book covers, and sophisticated brand titling. It can also work for short-form reading in high-quality print or high-resolution screens where its fine details and light strokes remain intact.
The overall tone is elegant and restrained, with a quiet luxury associated with fashion and literary publishing. Its light footprint and tall proportions lend a poised, formal voice that feels contemporary-classic rather than decorative. In paragraphs it reads as calm and polished, prioritizing finesse over heft.
The design appears intended to deliver a refined, modern take on a conventional text serif—prioritizing slender proportions, crisp detailing, and an elevated editorial tone for premium typography.
In the samples, the thin horizontals and fine serifs create a bright page color and a slightly shimmering texture at larger sizes. Uppercase forms present a stately presence, while lowercase maintains a reserved, bookish cadence with long extenders and modest detailing.
