A delicate, high-contrast serif with hairline joins and finely tapered terminals. Serifs are slim and mostly bracketed, giving strokes a calligraphic lift without becoming overtly ornamental. The capitals are proportionally broad with generous internal counters, while the lowercase keeps a steady rhythm and clear differentiation between straight stems and rounded bowls. Curves are smooth and controlled, and the numerals follow the same thin–thick logic, with open forms and subtle flourishes in figures like 2 and 9.
Well suited to editorial typography, book jackets, and magazine headlines where contrast and refinement are desirable. It can also support luxury branding and formal printed pieces such as invitations or programs, especially at display and larger text sizes where the thin details remain distinct.
The overall tone is poised and polished, leaning toward fashion and literary sophistication. Its light touch and sharp contrast read as premium and formal, while the restrained detailing keeps it calm rather than decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a traditional text serif: classic proportions and readable shapes paired with a very light, fashion-forward contrast and crisp finishing. It emphasizes elegance and whitespace, aiming for a premium editorial presence without relying on heavy ornamentation.
Round letters (C, G, O, Q) are drawn with large, open counters and a crisp edge to the thick strokes, contributing to an airy texture in setting. Descenders and ascenders feel moderately long, adding vertical elegance, and the italics are not shown, reinforcing a composed, upright voice across the samples.
