A delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a crisp, vertical-stress construction. Strokes taper into fine hairlines, and the serifs read as small, sharp terminals with minimal bracketing, giving the design a clean, etched finish. Proportions are classical and slightly condensed in the capitals, while the lowercase stays open and readable with generous counters and relatively tall ascenders; spacing feels even and measured, producing a calm, steady rhythm in text. Figures are lining and similarly slender, with subtle curvature and light joins that match the overall finesse.
Well-suited to editorial typography, book and magazine display, pull quotes, and refined branding where a sophisticated, high-contrast serif is desired. It also fits formal materials such as invitations and programs, and works best in contexts that can preserve its thin hairlines and subtle finishing.
The overall tone is poised and cultured, with a quiet sense of luxury and restraint. Its high-contrast delicacy suggests editorial sophistication—more salon and bookish than loud or industrial—while still feeling modern through its clean, controlled detailing.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast serif: elegant, legible, and sharply detailed, with enough warmth in the lowercase to keep longer passages from feeling rigid. Its restrained shapes and fine terminals suggest a focus on premium editorial and identity work rather than utilitarian interface text.
Round letters show smooth, near-elliptical bowls with fine entry/exit strokes, and several lowercase forms (notably the single-storey a and g) add a gently calligraphic, old-style flavor. The light hairlines and sharp terminals make the font feel especially crisp at larger sizes, where the contrast and detailing are most apparent.
