A delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and hairline serifs that finish in sharp, tapered terminals. Curves are smooth and controlled, with a crisp, clean outline and a slightly calligraphic modulation visible in letters like C, S, and the diagonal strokes of V/W. The uppercase shows generous proportions and a stately rhythm, while the lowercase keeps a moderate x-height with open counters and compact joins. Numerals are similarly high-contrast and elegant, with fine entry/exit strokes and a classic, text-friendly stance.
Well suited to editorial typography such as magazines, book interiors, and refined long-form reading where a light, high-contrast serif can create an upscale texture. It also works for invitations, cultural programs, and premium branding where a crisp, elegant voice is desired, especially in display sizes or carefully printed materials.
The overall tone is poised and sophisticated, evoking editorial polish and traditional book typography. Its lightness and high contrast give it a luxurious, fashion-adjacent feel while remaining composed and readable in well-spaced settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-contrast serif voice with a polished, contemporary finish—prioritizing elegance, sharp detail, and a luminous text color for editorial and formal applications.
Because the thinnest strokes are extremely fine, the design reads best when given sufficient size, spacing, and good reproduction conditions; in the sample text it maintains a graceful texture with a bright, airy page color.
