A delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and crisp, hairline serifs. The capitals are tall and stately with smooth, controlled curves and a relatively narrow presence, while the overall rhythm stays even and composed across the alphabet. Lowercase forms show a traditional book-serif structure with a two-storey “g,” a compact ear on “g,” and a gently curved “y” descender; round letters are clean and open, with finely tapered joins. Numerals follow the same refined contrast, featuring thin terminals and a balanced, classic lining style.
Well-suited to editorial settings such as magazines, book typography, and refined digital articles where a polished, high-contrast serif is desired. It also fits luxury branding, invitations, and headlines that benefit from an airy, upscale look, especially when given generous size and whitespace.
The font conveys a poised, editorial elegance—quietly luxurious rather than loud. Its lightness and sharp finishing details suggest sophistication, formality, and a cultured tone appropriate for premium typography.
The design appears intended to provide a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast text serif: crisp, graceful letterforms that deliver sophistication in headlines and carefully set paragraphs. Its emphasis on thin serifs and clean curves prioritizes elegance and typographic finesse.
The hairline details and sharp serifs create a bright, high-end texture at display sizes, while the restrained shapes keep it from feeling overly ornamental. Spacing appears measured and consistent, supporting a smooth reading flow in the sample text.
