A very delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and hairline terminals. Serifs are fine and sharply tapered, with subtle bracketing that keeps joins crisp rather than blunt. Uppercase proportions feel stately and spacious, while the lowercase maintains a measured, text-friendly x-height with narrow, vertical stress and carefully controlled curves. Overall rhythm is light and precise, with slim stems and gently modulated bowls that read cleanly at display sizes.
Best suited to editorial layouts, magazine headlines, book titling, and sophisticated branding where a high-contrast serif can provide elegance and hierarchy. It also works well for invitations and formal collateral, particularly when printed at moderate-to-large sizes where the fine hairlines remain clear.
The tone is polished and high-end, leaning toward classic bookish sophistication with a fashion/editorial edge. Its light touch and high contrast convey restraint, clarity, and a sense of luxury rather than warmth or casualness.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classical high-contrast text serif: refined, spacious, and composed, with enough crispness for headlines while preserving conventional proportions for continuous reading in well-controlled settings.
Figures and caps share the same refined, calligraphic contrast, and round forms (like O/Q/8) show a consistent vertical stress. The design favors open counters and generous spacing, producing a calm, airy color on the page but a delicate presence that can feel fragile when reduced too far.
