A delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp hairline terminals. The letterforms are upright with a vertical, orderly rhythm and finely bracketed serifs that stay light and sharp. Curves are smooth and controlled, joins are clean, and counters are relatively open, giving the design a polished, airy texture even at display sizes. Numerals follow the same refined contrast and feel well integrated with the text.
Well suited to magazine design, book typography, and other editorial contexts where a refined serif voice is desired. It performs particularly well for headlines, pull quotes, and elegant branding applications such as fashion, cosmetics, and invitations, where its high-contrast hairlines can be shown at comfortable sizes.
The overall tone is formal and cultivated, with a quiet luxury that reads as editorial and literary rather than loud or ornamental. Its fine detailing and restrained construction suggest sophistication and tradition, suited to designs that want elegance without overt flourish.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, print-inspired serif voice with modern crispness—emphasizing elegance through strong contrast, careful serif finishing, and a calm, upright rhythm that supports both display and refined text setting.
The thin hairlines and small details create an especially crisp silhouette in large settings, while the strong contrast and narrow proportions produce a tall, composed color in text. Round letters keep a smooth, even bowl shape, and the lowercase maintains a consistent, composed cadence across the sample paragraph.
