A delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and hairline terminals, combining sharp, tapered serifs with smooth, rounded bowls. The capitals are tall and poised with generous interior space, while the lowercase shows restrained, bookish proportions and a modest x-height. Curves are clean and controlled, with fine joins and a crisp finish; the overall color on the page stays light and airy, especially in extended text. Figures are similarly high-contrast, with slender stems and elegant curves that align with the text rhythm.
Well-suited to editorial design such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, and refined body copy in print contexts. It also fits luxury brand identities, beauty and fashion materials, book jackets, and formal announcements where a light, high-contrast texture is desirable.
The tone is polished and sophisticated, with a quiet sense of luxury. Its high-contrast delicacy reads as formal and editorial rather than utilitarian, suggesting refinement and careful typesetting.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-end interpretation of a classical text serif, prioritizing elegance, contrast, and typographic finesse over rugged versatility. It aims to create a luminous page color and a premium voice for display and editorial applications.
Distinctive details include a graceful, calligraphic feel in some curves and terminals, and a notably elegant uppercase Q with a sweeping tail. In small sizes or low-resolution settings the finest strokes may appear fragile, so it benefits from adequate size, quality rendering, and comfortable line spacing.
