A delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and hairline horizontals, giving the letterforms a crisp, high-end finish. Serifs are fine and subtly bracketed, with tapered terminals and smooth, calligraphic joins. Proportions feel classical with moderate aperture and a measured rhythm; capitals are stately while the lowercase maintains a composed texture with a gently flowing axis. Numerals and punctuation match the airy stroke weight and maintain consistent contrast, producing an overall light, polished color on the page.
Well suited to magazine layouts, book typography, and display settings where an elegant serif texture is desired. It can support refined branding, invitations, and headline/standfirst work, and works best in contexts where printing or rendering can preserve its fine hairlines and contrast.
The tone is poised and cultivated, evoking editorial sophistication and traditional book typography. Its fine details and sharp contrast convey luxury and restraint rather than utilitarian plainness, lending text a formal, curated voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic text serif proportions with a distinctly delicate, high-contrast finish. Its focus is on sophistication and typographic finesse, prioritizing graceful detail and a polished page presence.
In longer text, the very thin hairlines and tight internal details read as intentionally delicate, making the design feel best when given enough size and clean reproduction. The mix of sharp hairlines and rounded bowls creates a graceful cadence that emphasizes elegance over robustness.
