A very light, high-contrast serif with hairline connecting strokes and sharper, weighty verticals. Serifs are small and finely bracketed, with a crisp, engraved feel rather than heavy modeling. The forms are narrow-to-moderate in proportion with generous counters, and the rhythm is calm and even in running text. Lowercase shows a two-storey “a” and “g,” slim terminals, and a tall, slender “f,” while capitals are stately with clean, tapered diagonals and ample interior space.
This face works well for editorial typography such as magazines, book interiors, and cultured long-form layouts where an airy, high-contrast serif can add sophistication without heaviness. It also suits luxury and boutique branding, invitations, and high-end packaging where fine detailing and sharp serifs communicate elegance.
The overall tone is polished and literary, suggesting classic print refinement with a modern lightness. Its thin strokes and bright texture feel upscale and careful, suited to settings where restraint and precision read as premium.
The design appears intended as a conventional reading serif refined toward a lighter, more fashion-forward texture, balancing traditional proportions with delicate stroke work for an upscale, print-classic impression.
At text sizes the design produces a notably open, luminous color due to the fine hairlines and high contrast. The numerals and capitals maintain the same delicate finishing, keeping display and text use visually consistent.
