This typeface is a very delicate serif with subtly flared stroke endings and a pronounced hairline-to-stem interplay that reads as crisp rather than chunky. Curves are drawn with smooth, near-calligraphic modulation, and terminals often finish in fine, tapered points instead of blunt cuts. Proportions are tall and slender, with long ascenders and descenders that give the lowercase a distinctly vertical rhythm. Uppercase forms are restrained and classical in silhouette, while the lowercase maintains open counters and a light, precise skeleton that keeps text feeling spacious.
It suits magazine and book design where a light, elegant serif is desired, especially for display sizes, pull quotes, and refined headlines. It also fits fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, and invitation or announcement work where a delicate, high-end tone is appropriate. With generous spacing and careful reproduction, it can serve as a sophisticated text face for short passages.
The overall tone is poised and quiet, conveying a sense of refinement and editorial polish. Its thin strokes and gentle flaring suggest luxury and sophistication without becoming overly ornamental. In longer text it feels literary and composed, with a modern, airy elegance.
The design intent appears to be a modern take on classic, calligraphically influenced serif letterforms, prioritizing grace, verticality, and a luminous page color. Flared endings and tapered terminals add warmth and personality while keeping the overall structure disciplined and editorial.
Several glyphs emphasize fine joining and tapering (notably in curved letters and diagonals), so the design reads best when given room—both in size and in line spacing. Numerals appear similarly slender and elegant, matching the text color and delicacy of the letters.
