A delicate serif with hairline strokes, generous spacing, and a calm, even rhythm. Serifs are small and lightly bracketed with subtly flared terminals, giving strokes a tapered, calligraphic finish rather than blunt ends. Uppercase forms are stately and open, with smooth bowls (O/Q) and crisp, thin crossbars (E/F/T). The lowercase combines compact, tidy shapes with long, fine ascenders/descenders; the two-storey “g” and the looping “y” add a touch of flourish while staying controlled. Numerals are light and graceful, with a notably slender “1” and rounded, open “3/8/9.”
Well-suited to editorial typography, book and magazine settings, and elegant headlines where its fine serifs and open spacing can shine. It also fits premium branding, packaging, and invitation work that calls for a light, cultured voice. For body text, it will perform best in print-oriented or high-resolution contexts where the hairline details remain crisp.
The overall tone is refined and understated—more whisper than shout—suggesting sophistication and care. Its thin detailing and spacious color feel editorial and boutique, with a slightly poetic, bookish character. Subtle quirks (like the “Q” tail and the lowercase “y”) lend personality without tipping into display eccentricity.
Designed to deliver a modern, fashion-aware serif that remains conventional enough for text, but with refined detailing and a few expressive touches for personality. The emphasis appears to be on elegance, spacing, and graceful curves rather than sturdiness or maximal readability in harsh conditions.
In longer text, the face reads clean and composed, but the very thin horizontals and hairline joins create a bright, high-contrast page color that will benefit from comfortable sizes and ample leading. The ampersand is notably decorative with a looped form that stands out as a stylistic accent.
