A delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharp, hairline finishing strokes. Serifs are small and finely bracketed, with tapered terminals that keep the outlines crisp and airy. The capitals are stately and moderately wide with smooth curves (notably in C, G, O, Q), while the lowercase shows a compact x-height with tall ascenders and descenders that add vertical elegance. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with slender stems and graceful curves, creating a consistent, refined rhythm in text.
Well-suited to editorial typography where refinement is valued—magazine features, book interiors, essays, and cultural or academic materials. It can also support upscale branding and formal invitations, particularly at sizes where the fine serifs and hairlines remain clear.
The overall tone is poised and cultured, leaning toward formal editorial sophistication rather than rugged practicality. Its light touch and high contrast suggest a sense of luxury and restraint, with a slightly literary, bookish calm.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic text-serif voice with a fashionable, high-contrast elegance—prioritizing grace, vertical rhythm, and a polished page color for reading and sophisticated display applications.
In paragraph settings the narrow internal strokes and fine serifs create a bright page color, while the taller lowercase extenders and capital presence give lines a composed, classical cadence. The letterforms favor smooth, continuous curves over abrupt geometry, reinforcing a traditional, print-oriented feel.
