A delicate serif with very thin, even strokes and gentle, bracketed serifs that taper cleanly into stems. Curves are smooth and round, with a restrained contrast that stays consistent across the set, giving the letterforms a light, polished rhythm. Proportions feel slightly tall and high-waisted, with generous counters and ample sidebearings that keep text open and breathable. The overall construction is classical and disciplined, with crisp terminals and a calm, steady baseline presence in both roman and italics-free upright forms.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as books, magazines, and essay-style layouts where a light, refined texture is desired. It also fits invitations, lookbooks, and premium branding applications, especially when used at moderate-to-large sizes with generous spacing.
The tone is elegant and understated, projecting refinement without showiness. Its light touch and controlled detailing suggest a cultured, editorial voice—more poised than assertive—suited to premium, quiet luxury aesthetics. In running text it feels composed and literary, while at larger sizes it reads as graceful and sophisticated.
The design appears intended to deliver a modernized classical serif feel: traditional proportions and serif logic rendered with a very light, contemporary delicacy. Its consistent stroke behavior and open spacing prioritize elegance and typographic nuance over heavy-duty, small-size robustness.
The numerals and capitals share the same thin, precise treatment, producing a consistent, airy texture. At smaller sizes the hairline weight may demand careful use to preserve clarity, while larger settings highlight the crisp serifs and smooth curves.
