A delicate serif with tall, condensed proportions and fine hairline strokes. Serifs are sharp and restrained, with a slightly calligraphic taper that keeps terminals crisp rather than blunt. Curves are narrow and controlled, and the rhythm is vertical-forward, producing an airy color on the page. Uppercase forms feel stately and slender, while the lowercase keeps a clean, traditional structure with modest modulation and compact counters.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, book interiors, and cultural publishing where a refined, high-contrast impression is desired. It also fits formal applications like invitations and upscale branding, especially when used at display or comfortable text sizes with generous leading.
The overall tone is elegant and understated, with a quiet sophistication that reads as editorial and classical. Its thin, high-strung presence suggests formality and polish rather than warmth, lending a composed, literary character to text.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic text-serif voice in a notably slender, fashion-forward silhouette, balancing traditional construction with a lighter, more rarefied color for contemporary editorial use.
Spacing appears open enough to preserve clarity despite the narrow letterforms, and the numerals share the same refined, hairline construction for a cohesive typographic voice. The design’s emphasis on verticality makes it particularly striking in settings where line length and leading can be controlled.
