A delicate text serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and hairline serifs that finish in fine, tapered terminals. The overall color is light and open, with generous counters and a calm, consistent rhythm in running text. Uppercase forms feel classical and restrained, while the lowercase shows subtle calligraphic influence in the curves and joins (notably in round letters and the two-storey forms). Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with thin horizontals and clean, sharp detailing.
Well-suited to editorial design, magazine typography, and refined long-form reading where a light, high-contrast serif can add sophistication. It also fits formal applications like invitations and luxury branding, and performs attractively in display sizes for headlines, pull quotes, and elegant title treatments.
The font conveys a poised, cultivated tone—quietly luxurious rather than loud. Its fine hairlines and controlled contrast suggest sophistication and care, lending a sense of tradition and polish to contemporary typography.
The design appears intended as a modern, classical text serif that prioritizes elegance and a bright page texture through high contrast and slender proportions. It aims to deliver a refined reading voice and an upscale visual signature, balancing traditional serif forms with clean, contemporary precision.
Serifs are sharply defined and understated, contributing to a crisp silhouette without adding bulk. Curved letters show smooth transitions into thin strokes, and the italics are not present in the samples, reinforcing a steady, formal stance in the roman. The light weight and fine details make the face feel especially airy at larger sizes.
