A delicate, high-contrast serif with very thin hairlines and sharp, tapered terminals. Serifs are fine and mostly bracketed, with clean joins and a controlled, vertical rhythm. Capitals feel stately and proportioned, while the lowercase shows a traditional book-serif structure with moderate ascenders and descenders and a smooth, even texture in paragraph settings. Numerals are similarly refined, with slender forms and clear differentiation.
Well suited to magazine typography, book titling, and other editorial applications where a refined serif voice is desired. It also fits luxury-oriented branding and stationery when used with comfortable sizes and spacing to preserve its delicate details.
The overall tone is poised and cultured, with a distinctly editorial, fashion-forward polish. Its light touch and crisp contrast communicate sophistication and restraint rather than warmth or ruggedness.
Designed to deliver a classic, modernized text-serif feel with emphasis on elegance, contrast, and crisp detail for polished layouts and display typography.
At larger sizes the thin horizontals and hairline serifs read especially crisp, giving headings a luxurious sparkle; in denser text, the light color and contrast create an airy page tone. Curved letters and bowls appear smoothly drawn, and the italics are not shown, reinforcing a formal, upright presentation.
