A delicate serif with very slender hairlines and gently modulated strokes, producing an overall light, open color on the page. Serifs are fine and subtly bracketed, with smooth joins and a calm, upright posture. Proportions feel classical and slightly high-waisted, with generous counters and rounded forms that keep the texture breathable even at larger sizes. Lowercase shows a traditional two-storey “g” and crisp, narrow stems, while numerals are thin and elegant with restrained curves.
Best suited to editorial headlines, book jackets, pull quotes, and other display-to-large-text uses where its thin strokes can remain crisp. It also fits invitations, boutique branding, and packaging that benefits from a refined, traditional serif voice. For long passages, it will be most comfortable when set with ample size and leading to preserve its light texture.
The tone is quiet and cultivated, reading as sophisticated and literary rather than forceful. Its airy weight and fine finishing details suggest formality, restraint, and a sense of polish suited to premium or ceremonial contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic text serif: restrained and readable, yet intentionally light and elegant. The fine bracketed serifs and smooth stroke modulation aim to provide a polished, premium impression without resorting to overt ornament.
In running text the hairline strokes and fine serifs create a refined rhythm with clear word shapes, while display settings emphasize the graceful curves and high-contrast sparkle. The overall impression is consistent and controlled, with no exaggerated flourishes—more understated classicism than decorative drama.
