This typeface is a delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapered serifs that read as sharp and finely cut rather than heavy or bracketed. Capitals are stately and open, with generous inner counters and a smooth, calligraphic axis in rounded forms. The lowercase maintains a restrained, literary rhythm: slim stems, controlled curves, and clear entry/exit strokes, with a two-storey “g” and a narrow, neatly finished “f.” Numerals follow the same refined contrast, with an elegant, old-style feel in the shaping and light, precise terminals.
It performs best in display-to-text crossover roles where refinement is key: magazine headlines and pull quotes, book and journal covers, and premium brand identities. It also suits short-form body copy in print or high-resolution digital environments where its thin hairlines and sharp serifs can remain clear.
Overall it conveys a poised, high-end tone—quietly luxurious, cultured, and editorial. The extreme finesse of the hairlines creates an airy sophistication that feels formal without becoming ornamental, well suited to contemporary fashion and publishing aesthetics.
The font appears intended as a contemporary interpretation of a classic book serif, emphasizing elegance through strong contrast, crisp finishing, and spacious proportions. Its goal is to deliver a premium, editorial voice while keeping letterforms conventional and readable.
The design’s contrast and fine details reward larger sizes and high-quality reproduction; in denser settings, the hairlines may visually recede compared to the main strokes. Curves are smoothly drawn and consistent across the set, giving paragraphs a clean, polished texture.
