A delicate serif with pronounced stroke contrast and hairline terminals. The design uses sharp, finely bracketed serifs and tapered joins that give stems a crisp, chiseled feel. Round forms are smooth and open, while diagonals and arms stay slender, producing an overall light, high-end texture. Spacing reads measured and controlled, with a steady rhythm that keeps the page color pale and breathable.
Well suited to magazine design, fashion and beauty branding, and other editorial contexts where a light, elegant serif is desired. It performs especially well in display sizes for headlines, decks, pull quotes, and refined short passages, and can also serve formal materials like invitations when set with generous spacing.
The tone is refined and understated, with a luxury-editorial sensibility. Its thin strokes and precise detailing convey sophistication and restraint rather than warmth, suggesting an elegant, curated voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, luxury-leaning interpretation of a classic text serif: high contrast, fine detailing, and controlled proportions aimed at a polished typographic voice for premium communication.
Uppercase proportions feel stately and slightly condensed, helping long words stay compact without appearing compressed. The italic presence is minimal in the samples (roman shown), but several lowercase shapes show gentle, calligraphic inflections—especially in letters with curved terminals—adding a subtle humanist softness to an otherwise crisp, modern-classic structure.
