A delicate, high-contrast serif with hairline joins and sharply tapered strokes. Serifs are fine and mostly bracketed, with pointed, triangular terminals that give the outlines a crisp, engraved feel. Proportions are compact and texty, with a relatively small x-height, tall ascenders, and tight, controlled curves; counters remain open despite the thin horizontals. The overall rhythm is calm and even, with clean vertical stress and careful spacing that keeps the very light weight from feeling brittle in continuous text.
Best suited to high-end editorial typography—magazines, book interiors, and cultured long-form layouts—where its contrast can breathe at comfortable sizes. It also works well for luxury identities, invitations, and packaging that benefits from a refined, premium voice, especially in print or high-resolution digital contexts.
The tone is refined and quietly luxurious, projecting an editorial, fashion-forward elegance without becoming ornamental. Its sharp terminals and glassy contrast suggest formality and precision, while the light color on the page lends an airy, contemporary sophistication.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic text-serif reading experience with a fashion/editorial edge, emphasizing elegance through contrast, sharp terminals, and disciplined proportions. It prioritizes a polished page color and a sophisticated typographic texture over ruggedness or utilitarian clarity at very small sizes.
Uppercase forms read stately and composed, while the lowercase introduces gentle calligraphic cues in letters like a, g, and y. Numerals are slender and stylish, favoring a classic text setting over utilitarian signage, and punctuation remains subtle to match the overall light color.
