A delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and hairline terminals. The serifs are fine and mostly bracketed, giving strokes a tapered, calligraphic finish rather than slabby endings. Proportions are on the narrow-to-moderate side with generous internal counters, and the overall rhythm is light and open. Uppercase forms feel formal and measured, while the lowercase combines a restrained, bookish construction with a few sharper joins and thin linking strokes that emphasize contrast.
Well suited to editorial typography—magazine features, book interiors, and literary headings—where its contrast and finesse can be appreciated. It also works effectively for refined branding, invitations, and packaging that benefit from a light, classical serif voice. For long passages, it will be most comfortable at sizes and print/display conditions that keep the hairline details from fading.
The tone is refined and literary, with a poised, editorial elegance that reads as traditional rather than trendy. Its light color and crisp contrast create a quiet sense of luxury, lending text a cultivated, gallery-like presence. Overall it suggests classic publishing and high-end branding without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic text serif sensibility with heightened finesse: strong vertical stress, crisp modulation, and minimal, elegant detailing. It aims for a cultured, premium reading experience and a graceful typographic color that complements sophisticated layouts.
The numerals appear similarly high-contrast and delicate, matching the text weight closely and keeping a consistent, airy texture in mixed settings. In larger sizes the thin features read cleanly and contribute to a polished look, while at smaller sizes the hairlines may require comfortable sizing and spacing to preserve clarity.
