A delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and fine, hairline serifs. Curves are smooth and carefully drawn, with tapered terminals and a controlled, classical rhythm. Proportions feel traditional with a relatively small x-height, generous ascenders/descenders, and open counters that keep the texture light on the page. Spacing appears measured and even, producing a calm, column-like color in longer text despite the very fine details.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, books, and long-form reading where an elegant, classical texture is desired. It also works effectively for invitations, cultural programs, and premium branding when set at display or larger text sizes to showcase the high-contrast detailing.
The overall tone is polished and literary, evoking editorial refinement and a quiet sense of luxury. Its slender strokes and crisp serifs give it a poised, formal voice suited to cultured, high-end contexts rather than casual or loud messaging.
The font appears designed to deliver a traditional serif voice with a notably light, high-contrast finish—prioritizing elegance, precision, and a refined reading rhythm. Its proportions and restrained shapes suggest an intent to feel timeless and editorial rather than trendy or decorative.
The design leans on sharp, precise finishing—thin joins and narrow hairlines are a defining feature—so it reads especially clean in larger settings where the contrast can fully show. Numerals follow the same refined logic, with elegant curves and restrained detailing that aligns with the text style.
