A delicate text serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and fine hairline serifs. The curves are smooth and generously rounded, while vertical stems stay crisp, creating a clean, high-contrast rhythm. Serifs read as small and lightly bracketed, giving terminals a polished finish without feeling heavy. Overall spacing and proportions feel balanced and slightly generous, supporting a calm, open texture in continuous text.
Well suited to editorial environments such as magazine layouts, book typography, and long-form reading where an elevated, high-contrast serif is desired. It also works effectively for large-size applications like section heads, pull quotes, and refined branding moments such as invitations or cultural event materials where a graceful, upscale voice is needed.
The overall tone is elegant and literary, with a poised, premium feel typical of refined editorial typography. Its lightness and contrast convey sophistication and formality, leaning toward classic book-and-magazine styling rather than utilitarian or industrial moods.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a traditional high-contrast text serif: crisp, economical detailing paired with smooth curves and a measured, readable cadence. It prioritizes elegance and tonal finesse while keeping letterforms conventional enough for broad editorial use.
The numerals and capitals maintain the same refined contrast and restrained detailing, keeping the set cohesive. The forms favor clarity over eccentricity, with subtle calligraphic influence visible in the way strokes taper and join, especially in rounded letters.
