A delicate, high-contrast serif with hairline terminals and a crisp, pen-informed stress. The forms are narrow-to-moderate in their overall footprint but feel spacious due to thin horizontals and ample internal counters. Serifs are fine and sharp, with subtle curvature where strokes join, giving capitals a poised, formal stance and lowercase a graceful, slightly calligraphic rhythm. Curves are smooth and round (notably in O/Q/C), while diagonals and joins stay clean and controlled, producing an overall light, polished texture in text.
Best suited to display and editorial settings where its fine contrast can be appreciated—magazine layouts, book jackets, pull quotes, and refined branding. It can work for short passages of text in comfortable sizes and with supportive leading, especially in print or high-resolution digital contexts.
The tone is elegant and cultivated, with a fashion/editorial sensibility that reads as premium and restrained. Its thin strokes and sharp finishing details convey sophistication and care, leaning toward classic bookish refinement rather than rustic or blunt utility.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast serif typography: light, graceful letterforms that communicate luxury and literary polish while maintaining a conventional, readable structure for editorial use.
In continuous text the face maintains a shimmering, high-contrast cadence: thin cross-strokes and hairline serifs recede while verticals carry the color. Numerals match the letterforms with similarly refined weight and curved detailing, supporting a cohesive, upscale typographic voice.
