A delicate text serif with crisp, hairline-thin strokes and strong thick–thin modulation. Serifs are fine and bracketed, with sharp terminals and a slightly calligraphic tension in curves and joins. Proportions feel generously wide with open counters and ample sidebearings, giving the face a spacious rhythm in both caps and lowercase. Round letters are smooth and clean, while verticals stay straight and composed; the overall color on the page remains light and shimmering rather than dense.
Well suited to editorial settings such as magazine typography, book titling, and pull quotes where an elegant, high-contrast serif is desired. It can also support refined branding and formal materials like invitations or cultural event collateral, especially at medium to large sizes where the thin details stay clear.
The tone is poised and literary, conveying a quiet sophistication associated with book typography and editorial publishing. Its light presence and expansive spacing create an airy, premium feel, while the classic serif structure keeps it grounded and traditional.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-end reading and display experience: a traditional serif voice rendered with especially light strokes, ample width, and a polished, contemporary finish for sophisticated typography.
In the sample text, the wide set and fine details produce a graceful texture but also emphasize the fragility of hairlines at smaller sizes. Numerals follow the same refined contrast, reading as formal and traditional rather than utilitarian.
