A delicate text serif with high-waisted proportions, long ascenders, and crisp, finely tapered bracketed serifs. Strokes are thin overall with clear modulation, creating an airy page color and a lively vertical rhythm. The lowercase shows compact bowls and narrow apertures, while the capitals are tall and poised with restrained, classical construction. Numerals and punctuation match the same light, precise drawing, with small details and hairline joins that emphasize finesse over mass.
Well suited for editorial typography where a refined, high-fashion serif voice is desired—magazine headlines, pull quotes, section openers, and premium branding. It can also work for book or journal titling and other display settings where its thin strokes and crisp serifs can be reproduced cleanly.
The tone is elegant and cultured, leaning toward literary and fashion-forward refinement. Its lightness and sharp terminals give it a sophisticated, slightly dramatic presence that feels formal without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-end interpretation of a classical text serif: tall, slender proportions paired with precise hairlines and disciplined serif treatment to achieve an upscale editorial feel.
Spacing reads on the open side, helping the thin strokes breathe, while the narrow set and tall proportions keep lines looking vertical and composed. At smaller sizes the hairlines and tight internal counters may require generous size or higher-contrast reproduction to preserve clarity.
