A delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and fine, hairline serifs. The letterforms are generously proportioned with wide bowls and open apertures, creating an expansive rhythm across words. Curves are smooth and taut, while terminals and serifs feel crisp and lightly bracketed, giving strokes a precise, carved finish. Overall spacing reads open and even in text, supporting a calm, stately texture at display and larger reading sizes.
Well-suited to magazine and editorial typography, book covers, and other contexts where a refined serif texture is desired. Its open proportions and crisp contrast make it especially effective for headlines, pull quotes, and titling, and it can also support short-form reading where an elegant, high-end tone is appropriate.
The font conveys a polished, literary tone—formal without feeling heavy. Its airy contrast and wide set suggest sophistication and restraint, leaning toward fashion and cultural editorial aesthetics rather than utilitarian plainness.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic text-serifs: expansive proportions paired with sharp contrast and minimal, precise serifs. It prioritizes elegance and a composed reading rhythm, aiming for high-impact typography that still feels rooted in traditional serif conventions.
Uppercase forms feel stately and symmetrical with broad round letters (C, O, Q) and a clean, composed axis. Numerals share the same refined contrast and open proportions, keeping the figure set consistent with the text color.
