A delicate serif design with pronounced thick–thin modulation and hairline detailing throughout. Serifs are small and sharp with a crisp, carved feel, and terminals often finish in fine points that heighten the engraved impression. Proportions are relatively condensed with tall capitals, a steady vertical stress, and a calm rhythm in text. Lowercase forms keep a moderate x-height with long ascenders/descenders, and details like the two-storey “g” and the thin, elegant “t” contribute to a traditional text-face texture.
Well-suited to magazine typography, book interiors, and other editorial settings where a refined, classic voice is desired. It also performs nicely for headlines, pull quotes, and elegant invitations or programs, especially where generous size and comfortable leading can preserve its fine detailing.
The overall tone is refined and literary, projecting elegance and restraint rather than warmth or blunt utility. Its light color and precise finishing evoke high-end editorial typography—poised, formal, and slightly dramatic in display sizes while remaining composed in continuous reading.
The design appears intended to provide a classic text-serif feel with a more delicate, fashion-forward lightness—balancing traditional letterforms with sharpened contrast and precise, high-end finishing for editorial and display use.
In the sample text, spacing appears measured and even, producing a clean line despite the very fine strokes. Round letters (like O/C) feel smooth and controlled, while diagonals (V/W/X) and the numerals show crisp joins that reinforce the sharp, high-contrast character.
