A delicate text serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline finishing strokes. Serifs are fine and mostly bracketed, giving joins a smooth, calligraphic transition while keeping terminals sharp and clean. Capitals are tall and stately with generous interior space, while the lowercase shows compact bowls and noticeably long ascenders and descenders that lend a poised, vertical rhythm. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with slender stems and careful curves that read best when given room.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, book typography, and magazine design where high contrast can shine on quality output. It also works nicely for refined headlines, pull quotes, and formal materials such as programs or invitations, particularly when set with comfortable line spacing.
The overall tone is polished and classical, evoking editorial typography and formal printed matter. Its lightness and sharp finishing details create a quiet sense of luxury and restraint rather than a sturdy, utilitarian feel.
Likely designed as a contemporary take on a traditional high-contrast reading serif: graceful, disciplined, and optimized for elegant text color in longer passages while remaining expressive enough for display use.
The design relies on fine details—especially thin serifs and hairline cross-strokes—so it visually benefits from moderate sizes and clean reproduction. Spacing appears even and measured, supporting continuous reading while keeping an airy, high-end texture on the page.
