A delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapering hairlines. Serifs are small and bracketed, giving the outlines a traditional, bookish structure while keeping the overall color airy. Curves are smooth and controlled, with round bowls and a measured rhythm; diagonals and joins stay sharp without feeling mechanical. Proportions lean toward tall capitals and a comparatively modest x-height, contributing to a poised, high-end texture in text.
Well-suited to editorial design, book typography, and magazine layouts where a refined, high-contrast serif can provide an upscale voice. It can also serve effectively for titles, pull quotes, and formal printed materials such as invitations or programs, especially at sizes that preserve its fine hairlines.
The tone is polished and classical, with a quiet formality that reads as editorial and literary. Its lightness and high contrast add a sense of luxury and restraint, suitable for sophisticated, understated typography rather than utilitarian interface work.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic reading experience with a modern lightness—prioritizing elegance, contrast, and a traditional serif framework for high-quality typesetting.
In the sample text, spacing and word shapes feel open and composed, emphasizing the font’s light color and high-contrast sparkle. Numerals appear similarly refined, with thin terminals and a graceful, old-style sensibility in their construction.
