A delicate serif with pronounced stroke contrast and hairline finishing. The letterforms show a restrained oldstyle influence: gently bracketed serifs, tapered terminals, and softly modulated curves that keep the overall texture light and airy. Proportions feel balanced rather than condensed, with open bowls and smooth joins; the numerals and capitals maintain a poised, high-end rhythm without looking rigid.
Well-suited to magazine headlines, book jackets, and other editorial settings where a refined serif voice is desired. It can also support premium branding and formal collateral, especially at display and subtitle sizes where its hairline details and contrast remain clear.
The tone is elegant and cultivated, leaning toward editorial sophistication rather than utilitarian neutrality. Its refined contrast and subtle calligraphic modulation evoke luxury, literature, and traditional print craft.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-end serif texture with classic roots, prioritizing elegance, sharp detail, and a smooth reading rhythm for sophisticated typography.
Curves are drawn with a clean, polished quality, and many terminals end in fine points that heighten the sense of precision. The overall color on the page stays bright due to the thin strokes, giving paragraphs a graceful, upscale presence.
