A delicate, high-contrast serif with thin hairlines and sharper, slightly bracketed serifs that stay crisp even in larger sizes. The round letters show smooth, nearly vertical stress, while stems and joins remain clean and controlled with minimal flare. Proportions are balanced and moderately open, with generous counters and clear separation between thick and thin strokes, giving the design a light, polished texture on the page. Numerals follow the same refined contrast and feel tall and elegant, with the 2 and 3 showing graceful curves and the 4 using a sharp, open construction.
Well suited to magazine typography, book titles, and other editorial display where high contrast and refined detailing are desirable. It also fits luxury-oriented branding, invitations, and premium packaging, especially when used at medium to large sizes where the hairlines can remain clear.
The overall tone is poised and cultured, with a quiet luxury that reads as editorial and fashion-adjacent rather than utilitarian. Its fine details and steady rhythm lend it a formal, literary voice suited to sophisticated settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classical text serif: elegant proportions, disciplined contrast, and a polished rhythm optimized for upscale editorial and brand expression. Its emphasis on fine hairlines and crisp serifs suggests a focus on sophistication and visual finesse over rugged, everyday utility.
In running text the very thin horizontals and hairlines contribute to an airy color; the design feels especially at home when given ample size or comfortable leading. Capitals are stately and clean, while the lowercase maintains a classic book-face cadence with a restrained, modern finish.
