A delicate serif with hairline strokes and subtly flared stroke endings that widen gently at terminals rather than forming heavy bracketed serifs. Curves are smooth and almost monoline in feel, with a measured, editorial rhythm and generous interior space. Capitals are tall and clean, with restrained details; the lowercase shows rounded bowls, open apertures, and occasional sweeping tails (notably in g and y) that add softness without becoming decorative. Numerals follow the same light construction, with large, airy forms and fine terminals.
Well-suited to large headlines, pull quotes, magazine layouts, and refined brand wordmarks where its airy construction and flared finishing can shine. It can also work for short editorial text or captions when set with comfortable size and spacing to preserve the delicate strokes.
The overall tone is poised and understated, conveying quiet luxury and careful craft. Its thin strokes and spacious proportions feel modern and fashion-forward while still reading as bookish and classical in spirit.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif proportions with a lighter, more contemporary finish, using flared terminals and hairline strokes to achieve elegance without heaviness. It aims for a premium, editorial voice with smooth curves and a clean, controlled rhythm.
At smaller sizes the hairline connections and fine terminals may call for ample size or good printing/screen conditions to retain clarity. The wide, open shapes and restrained contrast create a calm texture in longer text, while individual letters remain distinctive enough for display settings.
