A delicate, airy text face with tall proportions and a noticeably restrained x-height. Strokes are predominantly thin with selective thickening in verticals and key joins, creating a crisp, high-contrast rhythm without heavy terminals. Curves are smooth and open, with rounded bowls and generous counters; straight strokes feel clean and controlled. Overall spacing reads even and calm, and the figures follow the same light, refined construction with simple, legible forms.
Well-suited to editorial and book typography where a refined, high-contrast texture is desirable, especially for headings, pull quotes, and larger text settings. It can also support elegant branding, invitations, and packaging where a light, cultured tone is needed and the type can be given adequate size and breathing room.
The font conveys a quiet sophistication—polished and literary rather than loud or utilitarian. Its light touch and measured contrast give it a cultured, editorial tone with a contemporary cleanliness.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, pared-back elegance: a clean sans structure softened by subtle contrast and smooth curves to achieve an editorial, premium feel while remaining readable in composed text.
Uppercase forms feel statuesque and composed, while the lowercase has a slightly more calligraphic softness in its curves and joins. The overall color on the page stays pale and refined, favoring elegance over emphatic presence.
