A delicate text serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and fine, hairline serifs. Curves are smooth and near-circular, while verticals stay straight and crisp, producing a clean, polished rhythm. Terminals tend toward sharp, tapered finishes, and the overall color on the page is light and open with ample internal counters. The lowercase shows compact, well-contained forms with a two-storey “a” and “g,” and the numerals follow the same refined, high-contrast drawing.
Well suited to editorial typography, book or long-form display passages, and upscale branding where a light, refined serif voice is desired. It also fits invitations and formal collateral, particularly when used at sizes that let the thin strokes and crisp serifs reproduce cleanly.
The font conveys a poised, editorial elegance—quietly formal and cultivated rather than loud or decorative. Its airy stroke weight and crisp detailing suggest sophistication, giving text a premium, composed tone.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-contrast serif look with an emphasis on elegance and typographic polish. Its controlled proportions and sharp detailing aim for a contemporary editorial feel rooted in traditional serif models.
In paragraph settings the spacing reads even and the letterforms maintain a consistent, vertical stance. The thin hairlines and sharp serifs emphasize finesse and precision, especially at larger sizes where the contrast and terminals become a defining feature.
