A delicate serif with very thin hairlines and pronounced thick–thin modulation that creates a crisp, high-contrast rhythm on the page. Serifs are finely tapered and largely bracketed, with sharp terminals and a smooth, controlled curvature through bowls and shoulders. Capitals feel tall and poised with generous interior space, while the lowercase maintains a balanced, readable structure and open apertures. Numerals and punctuation follow the same refined, airy construction, giving text a clean, luminous texture at display sizes.
Well suited to headlines, pull quotes, and titling in magazines, books, and cultural or fashion contexts where a refined high-contrast serif is desired. It can also support premium branding and formal stationery when set with adequate size and careful printing or screen rendering.
The overall tone is elegant and cultivated, with a classic, bookish voice that reads as formal and polished. Its slim strokes and precise detailing suggest sophistication and restraint, lending an upscale editorial or cultural feel rather than a utilitarian one.
The font appears designed to deliver a classic, modernized text-serif impression with an emphasis on elegance and contrast, pairing traditional proportions with crisp, contemporary finishing. Its detailing suggests an intention to provide a sophisticated typographic voice for polished editorial and brand settings.
The design relies on fine details—hairline crossbars, thin joins, and narrow serifs—so the character is at its best when reproduction is sharp and sizes are not too small. Spacing appears measured and even, supporting smooth word shapes while preserving a light, airy color.
