A delicate serif design with slim, vertically oriented proportions and generous internal space. Strokes show clear contrast, with hairline connections and slightly weightier verticals, and many endings widen into subtle flares rather than crisp bracketed serifs. Curves are smooth and taut, counters are open, and the overall rhythm feels even and calm. The lowercase maintains a comparatively tall x-height for its light build, while ascenders and descenders remain long and graceful, giving lines a refined, elongated texture.
Well-suited to editorial headlines, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, and poster titles where its light color and refined contrast can shine. It performs best in display and larger text settings, or in spacious layouts where the delicate strokes remain clear.
The font conveys a quiet, cultivated elegance—more editorial and gallery than utilitarian. Its thin strokes and flared finishes add a gentle, classical voice without feeling heavy or overtly traditional, creating a sense of restraint and sophistication.
The design appears intended to deliver an elegant, contemporary take on classical serif writing cues, using flared terminals and high contrast to achieve a polished, upscale texture while staying visually light and modern.
The figures and caps carry the same fine-line construction, producing a consistent, high-end look but with a notably light color on the page. In text, spacing and the narrow set create a crisp vertical cadence that reads best when given room and sufficient size.
