A delicate, high-contrast serif with finely tapered hairlines, pronounced thick–thin modulation, and crisp, bracketed serifs. Capitals are elegant and moderately wide with smooth curves and controlled joins, while the lowercase shows a traditional text rhythm with open counters and carefully shaped terminals. The overall color is light and airy, with clear vertical stress and a measured, bookish cadence across words and lines.
Well suited to long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a refined serif voice is desired. It also works effectively for pull quotes, headlines, and cultural or luxury-oriented collateral when set with sufficient size and leading to preserve its fine details.
The tone is refined and composed, leaning classic and literary rather than loud or decorative. Its sharp hairlines and poised proportions suggest formality and care, while the open shapes keep it feeling approachable and polished in continuous reading.
Likely designed to provide a conventional, trustworthy text serif with a more elevated, fashion-editorial finish. The intent appears to balance classic readability with a lighter, more elegant texture for contemporary publishing and brand-forward typography.
Figures follow the same contrast logic as the letters, mixing sturdy verticals with fine connecting strokes for a graceful, old-style feel. The italics are not shown, so the personality here reads as distinctly upright and traditional, with emphasis coming from contrast and serif detail rather than eccentric geometry.
