This typeface presents a delicate, high-contrast serif construction with hairline horizontals and thin connecting strokes balanced against slightly stronger vertical stems. Serifs are sharp and finely bracketed, giving terminals a crisp, tapered finish rather than blunt endings. The overall proportions feel traditionally bookish: capitals are stately and open, bowls are smoothly drawn, and spacing reads even with a calm, regular rhythm. Lowercase forms are compact and tidy, with a two-storey “g” and “a” that reinforce a conventional text-seriffed structure; numerals match the light, precise color with clear differentiation and graceful curves.
It fits editorial and literary typography—magazines, book interiors, and long-form reading where a classic serif voice is desired. It also suits high-end branding, packaging, and invitations when used at sizes that allow the fine hairlines and crisp serifs to remain clear.
The tone is polished and cultured, conveying a sense of formality without becoming ornamental. Its thin, shimmering stroke contrast reads as quiet luxury—well suited to settings that want sophistication, restraint, and typographic tradition.
The design intention appears to be a contemporary refinement of a traditional text serif: maintain familiar, readable skeletons while heightening elegance through pronounced contrast, careful serif shaping, and a light, luminous texture on the page.
In text, the font produces a bright, airy page color, with fine details in serifs and joins that emphasize precision. The italic is not shown; all samples appear consistently upright. Because the design relies on very thin horizontals and sharp details, it visually rewards comfortable sizes and high-quality reproduction.
