A delicate, high-contrast serif with hairline horizontals and finely tapered serifs. Curves are smooth and generously drawn, with round forms that feel open and polished, while vertical stems remain slender and consistent. Terminals often finish in subtle teardrops or small wedges, giving the shapes a lightly calligraphic edge without becoming ornate. Spacing reads even and composed, and the overall rhythm is calm and airy, especially in longer text settings.
Well-suited to editorial typography where an elegant voice is desired—magazine headlines, section openers, and book jackets in particular. It also fits luxury-oriented branding and packaging where fine detail and high contrast can be reproduced cleanly. In text, it works best at comfortable reading sizes and in print-like contexts where the hairlines won’t be lost.
The tone is poised and cultured, balancing classic bookish manners with a contemporary, fashion-forward lightness. Its thin strokes and crisp details communicate sophistication and restraint, lending an editorial, gallery-like feel to headlines and pull quotes.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion take on traditional serif construction: graceful proportions, crisp contrast, and restrained ornamentation that reads premium and literary. It aims for clarity and polish in display and editorial settings while keeping a composed, conventional text-seriffed foundation.
The numeral set follows the same refined contrast, with notably delicate joins and distinctive curves (especially in 2, 3, 5, and 9). Uppercase forms feel statuesque and formal, while the lowercase introduces gentler, more lyrical details and soft terminal treatments that keep paragraphs from feeling rigid.
