A delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and hairline joins, producing a crisp, high-contrast texture. Serifs are fine and mostly bracketed, with tapered terminals and a generally vertical, controlled construction. Capitals feel tall and stately with generous counters, while the lowercase keeps a moderate x-height and long, slender ascenders/descenders. Overall spacing reads open and measured, supporting a smooth rhythm in text despite the very light strokes.
Works well for editorial layouts, magazine typography, and book interiors where an elegant, high-contrast serif is desired. It also suits refined headlines, pull quotes, and formal materials such as invitations or cultural branding, especially when set at comfortable sizes with adequate spacing.
The overall tone is polished and editorial, with a quiet formality that suggests luxury and tradition rather than warmth or playfulness. Its thin detailing and poised proportions give it a cultured, bookish presence that feels suited to premium typography.
Designed to convey sophistication through high contrast, hairline finishing, and classic serif proportions, aiming for a premium reading and display voice with an airy, polished texture.
The numerals follow the same refined contrast and light finishing, appearing graceful rather than robust. Curved letters show clean, even arcs and restrained flare, giving the face a composed, contemporary interpretation of classic high-contrast serif styling.
