A delicate serif with pronounced stroke modulation, combining thin hairlines with gently swelling main stems. Serifs are finely tapered and mostly bracketed, with a calligraphic, pen-informed transition into curves and terminals. Capitals feel stately and open, with wide bowls and crisp joins, while the lowercase maintains a steady rhythm and readable counters. Ascenders are relatively tall and slender, and the numerals echo the same high-contrast, elegant construction with light, precise finishing strokes.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as books, essays, and magazine features where an elegant, high-contrast serif can add sophistication to long-form text. It also fits formal communications—programs, invitations, certificates—and premium branding where a graceful, traditional serif voice is desired.
The overall tone is refined and literary, with a quiet sense of tradition and craft. Its airy contrast and restrained detailing suggest formality without becoming rigid, lending a polished, editorial voice to text.
The letterforms appear intended to deliver a classic, humanist reading experience with modern crispness, emphasizing graceful contrast, careful serif shaping, and an even text rhythm. The design balances refinement and readability to work both as a text face and as an elegant display option at larger sizes.
The design relies on thin connecting strokes and fine terminals, giving it a sparkling, high-end texture at larger sizes while remaining composed in continuous reading. Curves are smooth and controlled, and the italic is not shown, reinforcing a straightforward, upright presentation in the samples.
