A delicate serif with fine hairlines, gently bracketed serifs, and a measured, even rhythm. The uppercase leans classical with wide, open bowls and crisp terminals, while the lowercase shows a text-oriented build: a two-storey “a,” single-storey “g,” and a slim “f” with a high crossbar. Curves are smooth and slightly calligraphic, with modest stroke modulation that stays consistent across the set. Numerals are thin and elegant, with ample white space and clear, traditional forms.
Well suited to editorial typography such as book pages, essays, magazine features, and refined long-form settings where an elegant, traditional serif is desired. It can also work for invitations, cultural branding, and headline/subhead pairings that benefit from a light, high-end tone—particularly at larger sizes where the hairlines remain crisp.
The overall tone is poised and literary, projecting quiet sophistication rather than strong display drama. Its lightness and airy spacing feel editorial and cultured, suited to settings where understatement and clarity are valued.
Designed to deliver a conventional text-serif voice with an elevated, fashion-leaning delicacy—prioritizing classical proportions, smooth curves, and restrained contrast for a polished reading experience.
Round letters like O/C/Q read very open and graceful, and the italic-like influence in terminals gives the face a soft, human touch despite its formal structure. The thin strokes and small details suggest it will look best when given enough size and contrast to the background to preserve its fine features.
