This is a delicate, high-contrast serif with thin hairlines and sharply defined, bracketed serifs. The letterforms follow classic proportions with a steady, upright stance and smooth, calligraphic modulation, showing clear thick–thin transitions and predominantly vertical stress in rounded characters. Spacing and rhythm feel open and measured, with narrow joins and tapered terminals that keep the texture light on the page. Numerals share the same refined contrast and show a mix of oldstyle-like movement and elegant curves, maintaining a cohesive typographic color.
Well-suited to book and magazine typography, especially for literary, arts, and fashion contexts where an elegant page color is desirable. It also performs nicely in display settings—titles, pull quotes, and refined branding—where its high contrast and crisp serifs can be appreciated.
The font conveys a polished, cultured tone—more poetic and editorial than utilitarian. Its fine strokes and graceful curves create an airy sophistication that feels suited to high-end presentation and long-form reading when set at comfortable sizes.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, contemporary take on formal text serifs: highly contrasted, finely finished, and optimized for a graceful reading rhythm and upscale editorial voice.
Distinctive details include slender crossbars and tapered arms, plus a gently expressive italic-like influence in some lowercase shapes (notably the single-storey ‘g’ and the flowing ‘y’), which adds warmth without breaking the overall restraint. The design rewards generous leading and avoids overly dense settings where hairlines may visually recede.
