A delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and fine, tapering hairlines. Serifs are small and sharply finished, giving a crisp baseline rhythm while keeping counters open and light. The design favors tall capitals, narrow joins, and smooth, rounded curves (notably in O/Q and the numerals), with a generally restrained, upright posture. Spacing feels airy and even, and the overall color on the page is bright due to the thin strokes and minimal serif mass.
Well-suited to editorial typography where a light, refined serif is desirable—magazine features, pull quotes, and elegant headlines. It can also support premium branding and formal materials such as invitations or certificates, especially at medium to large sizes where the hairline details remain clear.
The tone is poised and polished, projecting a cultured, bookish elegance rather than a loud display attitude. Its refined details and bright texture suggest formality and care, lending a contemporary-classic feel that reads as premium and editorial.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic text-serif voice with elevated finesse: high contrast, precise serifs, and generous whitespace for a bright, sophisticated page color. It prioritizes elegance and clarity in composed settings such as editorial layouts and curated brand applications.
The uppercase forms read stately and clean, while the lowercase keeps a traditional text rhythm with unobtrusive terminals and a straightforward, readable structure. Numerals appear similarly delicate with graceful curves, matching the letterforms’ high-contrast logic.
