A delicate serif design with very thin hairlines and finely tapered, bracketed serifs. Curves are smooth and clean, with a calm upright stance and carefully controlled modulation that reads as refined rather than dramatic. Proportions feel slightly tall and graceful, with generous sidebearings that create an open, breathable texture in text. Terminals are sharp and understated, and the overall rhythm is even, giving both capitals and lowercase a polished, editorial finish.
Well suited to editorial headlines, magazine layouts, and book-cover titling where fine detail can be appreciated. It also fits premium branding, packaging, and invitation-style work that benefits from an airy, sophisticated voice, especially at larger sizes or in high-resolution print.
The tone is elegant and restrained, projecting quiet luxury and a cultured, literary sensibility. Its light touch and precise detailing lend a contemporary fashion/editorial feel while still nodding to classic book typography.
The design appears intended to provide a modern, fashion-forward serif with classical manners—prioritizing elegance, lightness, and typographic finesse for display and refined editorial typography.
Capitals show a dignified, high-contrast-in-spirit structure despite the overall lightness, while the lowercase maintains a smooth, continuous flow with minimal eccentricity. Numerals are similarly slender and refined, suited to settings where subtlety is preferred over bold presence.
