A delicate, high-contrast serif with hairline transitions and sharply defined, bracketless-looking serifs. The letterforms feel open and spacious, with generous sidebearings and an even, upright axis. Curves are smooth and controlled, while terminals often end in fine points or small wedges, giving a crisp, precise finish. Lowercase forms read cleanly at text sizes, with a moderate x-height and slender stems that emphasize the light, polished rhythm.
Well-suited to editorial typography where contrast and elegance are desirable, such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, and refined display settings. It also fits book covers and premium branding applications where a light, sophisticated serif voice is needed.
The overall tone is poised and cultured, evoking fashion and bookish refinement rather than utilitarian neutrality. Its thin strokes and crisp detailing communicate luxury, formality, and a sense of careful craftsmanship.
The font appears designed to deliver a modern-classic reading experience with a luxurious, high-fashion edge—prioritizing elegance, white space, and crisp detail while keeping conventional serif construction for familiar readability.
The design shows a consistent calligraphic-to-modern tension: rounded letters (like O/C) are serene and balanced, while details in characters such as Q, R, and the numerals introduce a slightly dramatic, editorial flair. Numerals appear similarly light and elegant, matching the text color and maintaining the same fine serif treatment.
