A delicate display serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, sharp serifs. Vertical stems read as firm and straight while horizontals and connecting strokes drop to fine hairlines, creating a bright, airy texture. Curves are clean and controlled with a vertical stress, and terminals tend toward tapered, knife-like finishes. Proportions feel balanced and bookish, with slightly narrow rounds and generous inner counters that keep the face open despite its lightness.
Well suited for editorial headlines, pull quotes, and magazine typography where its contrast can shine at display sizes. It also fits brand marks, packaging, and event materials such as invitations or programs that benefit from a refined, premium voice. For longer text, it will be most comfortable in spacious settings with careful sizing and leading to protect the hairlines.
The overall tone is polished and high-end, with a quiet luxury feel. Its hairline details and controlled contrast evoke fashion, arts, and literary contexts, reading as poised rather than loud or playful.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast serif: crisp, minimal in detail, and focused on elegance and clarity. Its restrained shapes and bright rhythm suggest it was drawn to look sophisticated in modern layouts while retaining traditional serif cues.
Capitals carry a stately presence—especially the wide, structured forms like W and the open, classical bowls in C and G—while the lowercase maintains a calm, even rhythm. Numerals follow the same refined contrast and look best when given breathing room at larger sizes.
