A delicate, high-contrast serif with hairline joins and sharp, tapered serifs. Capitals are stately and open, with clean vertical stress and finely drawn horizontals that create a bright, airy texture. The lowercase shows compact, neatly controlled bowls and apertures, with a two-storey “g” and slender, upright stems; ascenders feel tall and the overall rhythm is calm and even. Numerals are similarly light and crisp, maintaining the same thin–thick interplay and narrow, refined curves.
Well suited to editorial typography, magazine and book titling, and other large-size settings where contrast and detail can be appreciated. It can also support premium branding and formal materials such as invitations or programs, especially when paired with ample spacing and high-quality output.
The overall tone is elegant and editorial, projecting a polished, cultured feel. Its lightness and crisp detailing suggest sophistication and restraint rather than warmth, making the voice feel formal and quietly luxurious.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast book/display serif: minimal ornament, careful proportioning, and crisp finishing to create a bright, sophisticated page color. It prioritizes elegance and typographic finesse, with character expressed through subtle details rather than heavy styling.
At smaller sizes the very thin hairlines and fine serifs can visually recede, while at display sizes the sharp contrast and clean curves read as especially precise. The capital “Q” has a distinctive, sweeping tail, adding a subtle touch of character within an otherwise restrained design.
