A delicate, monoline serif with generous sidebearings and a calm, even rhythm. Strokes stay consistently thin with softly rounded joins and terminals that read as understated hairline serifs. The letterforms favor open counters and smooth, geometric curves, while verticals are crisp and straight, giving the set a clean, measured structure. Lowercase shows long ascenders and a tidy, readable skeleton, and the numerals match the same thin, poised construction.
Well-suited to invitations, stationery, and upscale branding where a subtle, refined voice is needed. It also works nicely for editorial headlines, pull quotes, and book-cover typography, especially at moderate to large sizes where the thin strokes and spacing can remain clear.
The overall tone is graceful and cultured, with a quiet formality that feels light on the page. Its fine strokes and open spacing convey a sense of restraint and polish, leaning more toward poetic and editorial than bold or utilitarian.
Likely intended to provide a formal, hand-touched serif voice that feels contemporary and minimal rather than ornate. The emphasis appears to be on elegance through thin construction, rounded refinement, and relaxed spacing for a calm, premium impression.
The design relies on whitespace and consistent stroke weight for its character, so it looks most confident when given room to breathe. Curved glyphs (like C, G, S, and the bowls in the lowercase) emphasize smooth continuity over sharp contrast, reinforcing the font’s gentle, drawn quality.
