This typeface is a delicate, high-contrast serif with hairline horizontals and finely tapered curves. Serifs are small and sharply finished with subtle bracketing, giving strokes a crisp entry and exit without feeling blunt. Proportions are relatively tall and open, with a generous x-height and narrow internal counters that stay clear at display sizes. Round letters show a smooth, drawn modulation, and diagonals (V, W, X) feel thin and precise; overall spacing reads even and composed in text while maintaining a light, airy color.
It suits editorial typography such as magazines, book interiors, and literary layouts where a light, elegant serif voice is desired. It also works well for invitations, programs, and other refined print pieces, particularly at medium-to-large sizes where the hairline details can remain crisp.
The tone is refined and literary, with a classic, editorial elegance that feels calm and cultured. Its thin, polished details suggest sophistication and restraint rather than robustness or loud display character.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional text-serif reading experience with a distinctly light, high-contrast refinement, balancing classical proportions with a clean, contemporary crispness.
The figures follow the same delicate construction as the letters, with thin terminals and pronounced stroke contrast that can look especially elegant at larger sizes. Overall rhythm is consistent and measured, favoring precision and clarity over warmth or heaviness.
