A delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and hairline connecting strokes. Vertical stems read crisp and controlled, finishing in subtly flared, bracket-like terminals rather than heavy slabs. Curves are generously rounded with a smooth, calligraphic modulation, and the overall color stays light and open on the page. Lowercase shows a two-storey a with a fine entry stroke and a compact ear, a two-storey g with a small upper bowl and rounded lower loop, and narrow, precise joins in letters like n and m; numerals follow the same high-contrast logic with slender diagonals and tapered ends.
Well suited to editorial typography such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, and book or journal titling, where its contrast and refined details can be appreciated. It also fits luxury and cultural branding applications—packaging, invitations, and identity systems—especially when set with generous tracking and ample white space.
The tone is poised and cultured, combining a classical bookish sensibility with a fashion-forward lightness. Its fine strokes and flared endings give it a graceful, slightly formal presence that feels premium without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-fashion interpretation of classical serif forms, emphasizing elegance through high contrast and tapered, flared terminals while maintaining a readable, traditional structure for extended display text.
In text, the rhythm is smooth and even, with sharp internal counters and careful spacing that keeps large sizes looking airy. The thin hairlines and pointed joins suggest it will shine best where rendering is clean and sizes are not too small.
