A slender, crisp text face with clean, unbracketed terminals and a pronounced thick–thin modulation that reads as calligraphic rather than geometric. Curves are smooth and slightly condensed, with generous counters and open apertures that keep the texture from clogging. Vertical strokes stay firm and straight while joins and bowls show subtle tapering, giving letters a sculpted, drawn quality. The lowercase is compact with tall ascenders and a simple single-storey ‘g’, and the numerals are similarly slim with refined curves.
Well-suited to editorial settings such as magazine typography, pull quotes, and refined headlines, and can extend to book interiors at comfortable sizes where its open counters help maintain readability. Its slim, elegant build also works for boutique branding, invitations, and posters that benefit from a light, sophisticated texture.
The overall tone is poised and literary, pairing delicacy with clarity. It suggests a polished, cultured voice—more boutique and editorial than utilitarian—while still feeling modern and restrained rather than ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver an elegant, high-end reading and display voice with a contemporary minimalism—combining a clean, sans-like construction with calligraphic contrast to add sophistication without overt decoration.
Spacing appears relatively tight and rhythmic, producing an even grey value in paragraphs. Round letters (o, c, e) maintain consistent curvature, and diagonals (v, w, x, y) are sharp and clean, adding a crisp sparkle in mixed text.
