A delicate text serif with very thin hairline strokes and subtly bracketed, tapered serifs. The letters are upright with a calm, measured rhythm, combining sharp terminals with smooth, rounded bowls and a restrained contrast that reads as refined rather than dramatic. Proportions are narrow and vertically inclined, with generous interior spaces and clean joins that keep counters open despite the light weight. Figures follow the same hairline logic, with smooth curves and understated detailing suited to continuous reading at larger sizes.
Well suited for magazine typography, book interior display, pull quotes, and refined branding where an elegant serif is desired. It can also serve invitations and packaging that benefit from a light, high-end typographic voice, particularly when set at moderate to large sizes.
The overall tone is sophisticated and quiet, suggesting editorial polish and a sense of luxury without overt flamboyance. Its lightness and fine finishing give it a poised, formal voice that feels at home in cultural, literary, and fashion-adjacent contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, highly refined serif for modern editorial use—prioritizing graceful proportions, clean finishing, and a light typographic color that conveys sophistication and restraint.
In text, the thin horizontals and tapered serifs create a bright page color and a crisp baseline, while the narrow set encourages compact headlines and elegant subheads. The design relies on fine strokes for character, so it visually rewards ample size and comfortable spacing.
