A delicate serif with hairline strokes and crisp, finely bracketed serifs. Proportions are tall and condensed, with long ascenders and descenders that create a high-waisted silhouette and generous vertical rhythm. Curves are smooth and controlled, while joins and terminals feel precise and lightly tapered rather than blunt. Counters are relatively open for the width, and spacing appears measured, supporting a calm, even texture in running text despite the very thin stroke weight.
Best suited to editorial settings where a subtle, high-end tone is desired—magazine headlines, book covers, pull quotes, and refined branding. It can also work for invitations or packaging where an airy, elegant presence is more important than rugged small-size resilience.
The overall tone is refined and quiet, leaning toward formal, editorial elegance rather than robust everyday utility. Its lightness and narrow stance convey sophistication and restraint, with a slightly vintage, bookish sensibility.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif voice in a more slender, fashion-forward proportion, prioritizing elegance, verticality, and a light touch. Its consistent, disciplined letterforms suggest a focus on composed typography for titles and upscale text applications.
Numerals follow the same tall, slender construction, maintaining consistency with the uppercase. The design favors vertical emphasis and clean, uncluttered shapes, producing a spacious feel at display sizes while remaining composed in longer lines.
