A delicate, high-contrast serif with slender hairlines, sharper thick-to-thin transitions, and finely tapered terminals. Serifs are small and neat with a subtly bracketed feel, while curves are smooth and open, giving counters a clean, well-polished rhythm. Capitals are proportioned with a restrained, classical stance; the lowercase shows a readable, traditional structure with a two-storey “g” and a gently tapered “f,” and numerals follow the same refined contrast and light touch. Overall spacing feels measured and calm, with an even vertical color that stays light and airy.
Well suited to editorial typography such as books, long-form articles, and magazine layouts where a refined serif texture is desired. It also fits formal materials like invitations and programs, and can support understated brand identities that benefit from an elegant, classic typographic voice.
The tone is poised and literary, projecting sophistication without overt ornament. Its thin strokes and crisp details read as formal and cultured, with a quiet confidence suited to premium editorial and institutional voices.
The typeface appears designed to deliver a conventional reading experience with elevated refinement, using high contrast and carefully controlled serifs to create a graceful, premium texture on the page.
The design leans on precise stroke modulation and fine finishing, so the most distinctive character comes through at comfortable text-to-display sizes where the hairlines and serifs remain visible. The sample text shows a smooth, steady baseline rhythm and consistent contrast across mixed-case setting and punctuation.
