This serif presents a delicate, high-contrast structure with very thin hairlines and sharper, darker stems. Serifs are small and finely bracketed, giving terminals a crisp, sculpted finish without feeling heavy. The overall color is light and airy, with narrow proportions, tall capitals, and a steady rhythm in text. Curves show a clear vertical stress and controlled modulation, while joins and shoulders remain clean and restrained.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, books, and magazine typography where a refined, classic serif voice is needed. It can also support luxury-oriented branding and elegant headlines, especially at sizes where the fine hairlines and crisp serifs remain clear.
The tone is polished and quiet, leaning toward classic book and magazine typography rather than display theatrics. Its thin finishing details and measured contrast convey sophistication and formality, with a literary, editorial sensibility.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional text-serif reading experience with a more fashionable, contemporary lightness—prioritizing elegance, controlled contrast, and a clean typographic rhythm for composed, high-end settings.
The lowercase includes a double-storey “g” and compact, neatly finished forms that keep counters open despite the light hairlines. Numerals follow the same refined contrast and appear designed to sit comfortably in running text rather than dominate it.
