A delicate, high-contrast serif with hairline joins and sharply tapered terminals. Serifs are small and finely bracketed, with a calligraphic feel in the way strokes thin into points on letters like C, G, S, and the diagonals of V/W. Proportions are classical with moderate apertures and smooth curves; spacing appears airy, and the overall rhythm is light and precise. Numerals are similarly refined, with thin connecting strokes and sculpted curves that keep the set consistent with the letters.
Well suited to editorial typography, magazine and journal styling, and book covers where high contrast and fine detail can be appreciated. It also fits luxury-oriented branding and display headlines, particularly when paired with generous leading and careful spacing.
The font conveys a poised, editorial tone—quietly luxurious rather than loud. Its sharp tapering and bright contrast suggest sophistication and tradition, lending a cultured, bookish character suitable for premium contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic, high-contrast text serif: prioritizing elegance, sharp detailing, and an airy page color while maintaining familiar, readable letterforms.
The italic-like swash on the Q and the distinctive, tapered strokes on letters such as J, R, and y add personality without breaking the conventional text-seriffed structure. At larger sizes the fine detailing reads especially clean, while at smaller sizes the hairlines may feel more fragile, emphasizing the typeface’s delicate aesthetic.
