A delicate serif with tall proportions and a strongly vertical, high-waisted construction. Strokes are fine and crisp, with noticeable contrast between stems and hairlines, and small, bracketed serifs that stay understated rather than chunky. Curves are narrow and controlled, giving rounds like O and C a slim, columnar feel, while capitals such as M and W remain tight and compact. Lowercase forms read clean and traditional, with a two-storey a, a looped g with an open tail, and a long, slender f; overall spacing is on the tight side, reinforcing a condensed, formal texture.
Well-suited to editorial typography, book interiors, and magazine features where a light, elegant serif texture is desired. It also works effectively for display applications such as refined headlines, fashion branding, and formal stationery when set with ample spacing and clear hierarchy.
The font conveys a poised, editorial tone—quietly luxurious and old-world without feeling ornamental. Its lightness and narrow rhythm suggest sophistication and restraint, making text feel elevated and carefully set.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic text-serif voice in a slimmer, more rarefied silhouette—prioritizing elegance, verticality, and a polished page texture over robustness or heavy emphasis.
Numerals follow the same refined, high-contrast logic, with thin joins and graceful curves; several figures (notably 2 and 3) emphasize flowing terminals that add a subtle calligraphic nuance. In the text sample, the narrow measure and fine hairlines create a bright page color that favors generous leading and comfortable sizes for sustained reading.
