A delicate, high-contrast serif with hairline joins and sharp, bracketed serifs. Strokes taper cleanly into terminals, with a vertical, steady axis and open counters that keep the texture light on the page. Capitals are tall and poised with restrained detailing, while the lowercase shows traditional proportions and a moderate rhythm, producing a refined, bookish color. Numerals match the same thin–thick pattern, reading crisp and precise at display sizes.
Well-suited to editorial typography, book and magazine settings, and sophisticated headings where its contrast can shine. It also fits formal applications such as invitations, programs, and branding that benefits from a classic, refined serif voice.
The overall tone is classical and cultivated, with an understated elegance that feels editorial and literary. Its lightness and contrast lend a sense of luxury and formality rather than utility or ruggedness.
The font appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast text serif with a modernized, airy refinement—balancing traditional letterforms with a light, elegant rendering for editorial and display use.
The design relies on fine hairlines and pronounced contrast, which gives excellent sparkle in headlines but can become fragile at small sizes or on low-resolution output. Spacing appears measured and even, supporting comfortable word shapes in running text while keeping a distinctly high-end, delicate impression.
