A delicate text serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and fine hairline serifs. Strokes show a subtle calligraphic influence with tapered terminals, crisp joins, and bracketed serifs that stay sharp rather than blunt. Proportions are traditional and slightly condensed in places, with relatively narrow counters and a steady vertical rhythm; curves are smoothly drawn and the overall color remains light on the page despite the strong contrast. Numerals follow the same refined, high-contrast construction with thin diagonals and small, precise finishing strokes.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, essays, and book interiors where a refined serif texture is desirable. It also works effectively for formal invitations, cultural branding, and display typography in headlines or pull quotes where its contrast and sharp detailing can be appreciated.
The font reads as cultured and editorial, bringing a quiet formality associated with books, magazines, and institutions. Its high-contrast elegance gives it a polished, premium tone that feels classical rather than trendy, and it maintains a composed, literary voice in running text.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, readable serif voice with an elevated, high-contrast finish. It balances familiar proportions with elegant hairlines and crisp serifs to create a classic typographic presence for editorial and formal communications.
In text settings the rhythm is crisp and even, with hairline details that add sparkle at larger sizes and a more airy texture at smaller sizes. The design favors precision and refinement over robustness, making its fine terminals and serifs a defining visual signature.
