A delicate serif with very thin, crisp strokes and modest contrast between stems and joining curves. The overall proportions are tall and narrow, with a high x-height and long ascenders that give the text a vertical, airy rhythm. Serifs are small and lightly bracketed, with sharp terminals and a controlled, slightly calligraphic feel in curves. The lowercase shows compact bowls and a single-storey “g,” while figures are similarly slender and evenly aligned, reinforcing a restrained, editorial texture.
Well-suited to editorial settings such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, and elegant book typography where a light, refined serif is desired. It can also work effectively for formal stationery and invitations when set with generous spacing and at sizes that keep the hairline details clear.
The font reads as refined and understated, leaning toward a bookish, cultured tone rather than overt ornament. Its hairline presence and vertical poise convey formality and calm, with a subtle fashion/editorial sophistication.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional serif voice with a notably light, vertical silhouette—aiming for elegance and readability through high x-height and disciplined detailing rather than heavy stroke presence.
In the sample text the thin horizontals and fine serifs create a bright page color with pronounced whitespace, especially at larger sizes. Narrow proportions and tight internal counters can make dense paragraphs feel light but also emphasize spacing and line breaks; it is likely to benefit from careful tracking and comfortable leading.
