A delicate, high-contrast serif with hairline horizontals and sharply tapered terminals. Serifs are fine and bracketed, giving strokes a softly calligraphic entry and exit rather than blunt endings. Proportions feel classical with generous sidebearings and a steady vertical rhythm; bowls are smooth and open, and curves resolve into thin joins and pointed apexes on letters like A and W. Lowercase forms keep a traditional structure with a two-storey g, a compact, slightly angled ear on g, and a single-storey a with a tapered, teardrop-like terminal; numerals show similarly refined, thin finishing strokes.
Well suited for editorial typography, book interiors, and magazine features where an elegant, classical serif is desired. It can also support upscale branding, event stationery, and headings or pull quotes, especially when printed or set with ample size and leading to preserve the fine hairlines.
The overall tone is quiet, polished, and literary—more suited to sophistication than impact. Its fine detailing and measured rhythm evoke editorial and cultural contexts, suggesting prestige and careful craftsmanship rather than utilitarian neutrality.
The design appears intended as a contemporary take on a classic text serif: prioritizing grace, contrast, and refined finishing over sturdiness. Its detailing and spacing suggest it’s meant to deliver a cultivated, premium voice in longer reading and display-adjacent editorial settings.
In text, the light hairlines create a bright page color and emphasize stroke contrast, while the narrow, crisp serifs and tapered terminals add sparkle at larger sizes. The italic is not shown; all samples appear roman/upright.
