A delicate, high-contrast serif with thin hairlines and sharper, fuller vertical stems that create a crisp rhythm on the page. Serifs are fine and bracketed, with tapered joins and neatly controlled terminals that keep the letterforms feeling precise rather than ornate. Proportions are balanced and classical, with moderate x-height, open counters, and clear differentiation between rounds and straights; italics are not shown, but the roman maintains a steady, upright posture throughout. Numerals follow the same refined contrast, with slender curves and compact, editorial-friendly figures.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, book typography, and magazine work where an elegant, high-contrast serif can provide a refined reading voice. It also performs nicely for display applications—titles, pull quotes, and premium branding—where its thin hairlines and sharp detailing can be appreciated.
The overall tone is poised and cultured, leaning toward literary and fashion-adjacent sophistication. Its lightness and contrast suggest formality and restraint, conveying a polished, premium feel without overt decoration.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic text-serif foundation with a more delicate, fashion-forward contrast and clean finishing, balancing traditional proportions with a lighter, more luminous page color for contemporary editorial use.
At larger sizes the hairlines read especially clean and graceful, while in continuous text the strong contrast gives a bright, airy texture. The shapes of key forms like the two-storey “g” and the curved “y” descender reinforce a traditional text-serif heritage with a modern, crisp finish.
