A delicate text serif with pronounced stroke contrast and crisp, hairline finishing. Serifs are finely tapered and lightly bracketed, giving terminals a sharp, cultivated edge without feeling mechanical. Round letters show a clear vertical stress and a smooth, open curvature, while the overall rhythm stays even and calm across both uppercase and lowercase. Proportions lean generously wide, producing an airy color on the page and clear separation between counters and sidebearings.
Well-suited to book typography, magazine layouts, and other editorial settings where an elegant serif voice is desired. The wide set and high-contrast detailing can be especially effective for display sizes—titles, pull quotes, and refined print pieces—while still maintaining a traditional text-serif structure.
The tone is poised and editorial, with a quiet formality that reads as literary and cultured. Its thin finishing and polished contrast suggest sophistication and restraint rather than warmth or playfulness.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional, readable serif with elevated refinement: generous proportions, controlled contrast, and sharply finished serifs aimed at producing a sophisticated editorial texture.
In text, the light serifs and strong contrast create a refined shimmer, especially at larger sizes. The numerals and capitals feel aligned with the same restrained detailing, supporting a consistent, bookish voice in headings and running text alike.
