A very delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and tapered strokes that flare subtly at terminals rather than ending in blunt slabs. Vertical stems feel crisp and controlled, while curves are drawn with fine hairlines and generous counters that keep the texture open. Serifs and terminals are small and sharp, with a lightly calligraphic, drawn quality that shows in angled joins and the tapering of diagonals. Proportions are classical with moderate x-height and relatively long ascenders/descenders, producing a light, spacious rhythm in text.
Best suited to display and larger text sizes where the fine hairlines can remain clear: magazine headlines, refined brand identities, book covers, and premium packaging. It can also work for short editorial passages and pull quotes when set with adequate size, leading, and contrast against the background.
The tone is poised and sophisticated, with a quiet luxury that reads as editorial and fashion-adjacent. Its thin hairlines and elegant tapering give it a cultured, literary feel, while the clean, upright structure keeps it modern and composed.
The design appears aimed at delivering a high-end, high-contrast serif voice with flared, tapering terminals that evoke a lightly calligraphic tradition. It prioritizes elegance and openness over density, creating a graceful page color for headlines and carefully set text.
The capitals present a stately, high-contrast silhouette—especially in round forms like C and O—while the lowercase introduces a slightly more humanist flow (notably in the two-storey g and the curved, gently sweeping terminals). Figures appear similarly light and refined, matching the overall hairline character and keeping numerals from overpowering surrounding text.
