A delicate, high-contrast serif with hairline horizontals and sharply tapered serifs that give the letterforms an airy, precise texture. Strokes show a pronounced thick–thin rhythm with smooth, calligraphic modulation, and curves are clean and generously drawn, especially in the round capitals. Proportions feel classical with relatively tall capitals, a moderate x-height, and open internal counters; spacing reads even and calm at display sizes, with slender joins and fine terminals throughout.
Best suited for editorial headlines, magazine typography, book covers, and brand identities where elegance and contrast are assets. It also works well for invitations and formal collateral, especially in larger sizes where the hairline details and sharp serifs can remain clear.
The font conveys a polished, cultured tone—quietly luxurious rather than loud—suited to refined typographic settings. Its crisp contrast and restrained detailing evoke traditional book and editorial typography with a contemporary lightness.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic text-serif voice with elevated contrast and a light, fashion-forward finish. It prioritizes sophistication and typographic finesse, emphasizing graceful curves, crisp serifs, and an uncluttered reading rhythm for polished display and editorial use.
Uppercase forms lean toward inscriptional elegance with wide, rounded shapes (notably O/Q) and controlled flare at terminals, while lowercase maintains a smooth reading rhythm with minimal fuss in the serifs. Numerals are equally refined, with thin hairlines and graceful curves that visually align with the text style.
