A delicate serif with very thin hairlines and slightly stronger stems, creating a clean, lightly contrasted texture. Proportions are notably narrow, with tall ascenders and descenders that lend a vertical, high-waisted silhouette. Serifs are fine and tapered rather than blocky, and curves are drawn with a calm, controlled rhythm; joins and terminals feel crisp and understated. In text, spacing reads open and even, producing an airy, light-gray color with a distinctly refined cadence.
Best suited to editorial settings where a light, elegant serif is desired—magazine headlines, pull quotes, and refined titling. It can also work for book typography and branding when set at comfortable sizes and with adequate line spacing to preserve its delicate details and airy rhythm.
The overall tone is poised and cultivated, with a quiet, editorial elegance. Its slender build and crisp detailing suggest sophistication and restraint rather than warmth or ruggedness, giving it a classic, literary voice suited to polished, high-end contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif reading experience with a distinctly slender, high-fashion refinement—prioritizing graceful vertical proportions, crisp serifs, and a bright, open texture in both display and longer-form settings.
Figures follow the same narrow, delicate construction as the letters, and the lowercase shows pronounced extenders (notably in g, j, p, q, y), which adds personality and vertical movement. The texture remains consistent across capitals and lowercase, with an emphasis on finesse over density.
