A delicate, high-contrast serif with thin hairlines and sharply tapered, bracketed serifs. Curves show a clear vertical stress, with crisp joins and a controlled, slightly narrow rhythm that keeps word shapes tidy. Capitals are stately and open, while lowercase forms use compact apertures and relatively long ascenders/descenders, giving lines an airy, elegant texture. Numerals appear lining with the same contrast and fine terminals, suited to restrained, polished setting.
Well-suited to book and editorial typography where an elegant, classical serif voice is desired, especially for chapter openings, pull quotes, and headlines. It also fits formal print applications like invitations and programs, and premium branding settings where a light, refined serif is appropriate.
The overall tone is refined and literary, projecting tradition and precision rather than friendliness or heft. Its light touch and sharp detailing read as formal and premium, with a calm, composed presence on the page.
The font appears designed to deliver a classic text-serif impression with a fashion-forward lightness: strong vertical structure, fine hairlines, and disciplined proportions that emphasize elegance and typographic sophistication.
In the sample text, the thin horizontals and serifs become a defining feature, producing a bright typographic color that benefits from generous sizes and comfortable spacing. The design’s crisp contrast and compact counters suggest careful use in longer passages to preserve clarity.
