A delicate serif with pronounced stroke contrast and hairline terminals, built on a steady, upright structure. Serifs are fine and bracketed, with tapered joins and a smooth, calligraphic transition between thick and thin strokes. Counters are open and rounded, and the curves (notably in C, G, O, and Q) feel controlled and gently modulated rather than geometric. Lowercase forms are traditional and readable, with a single-storey g and a modestly sized, slightly tilted e; overall spacing and rhythm favor a refined, linear texture in text.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazine features, book jackets, and refined headlines where the high-contrast detailing can be appreciated. It also fits luxury branding and packaging that benefit from an understated, premium voice, and can work for short-form text when set at adequate size and with generous spacing.
The font conveys a polished, high-end tone with a literary and editorial sensibility. Its thin hairlines and poised contrast suggest formality and sophistication, leaning toward a quiet, classical elegance rather than overt display theatrics.
The design appears intended to offer a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast text serif: graceful, economical in width, and optimized for a clean, upscale typographic color. It prioritizes elegance and clarity through controlled proportions and carefully tapered serifs.
The numerals echo the same refined contrast and narrow footprint, with a slender 1 and a curving 2 and 3 that read well at larger sizes. Capitals feel statuesque and airy, while the lowercase maintains an even cadence that supports continuous reading when set with comfortable leading.
