A delicate text serif with strong thick–thin contrast and fine, hairline serifs. Strokes show a subtly calligraphic modulation with tapered terminals and gently bracketed joins, giving curves a smooth, controlled feel. Proportions are balanced and fairly open, with rounded bowls and a measured rhythm that reads cleanly in continuous text. Numerals and capitals follow the same high-contrast logic, maintaining a consistent, polished texture across the set.
Well suited to editorial typography such as books, magazine features, and refined long-form layouts where an elegant serif texture is desired. It can also work for invitations, headings, and brand materials that benefit from a classical, high-contrast voice, especially at moderate to larger sizes.
The overall tone is poised and cultured, suggesting editorial sophistication rather than loud display. Its light touch and crisp detailing convey formality and restraint, with an understated luxury suitable for classic, literary settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional, high-contrast reading serif with a graceful, modern cleanliness—prioritizing elegance, fine detail, and a composed text rhythm over robustness or heaviness.
In the text sample the thin horizontals and terminals create a bright, airy page color, while the sharper serifs add definition at larger sizes. The design leans on precise curves and tapered strokes for character rather than heavy ornament.
