A very delicate serif with hairline strokes and gently modulated contrast. Serifs are fine and bracketed, with tapered terminals that often end in small teardrop-like details, giving the outlines a precise, drawn quality rather than a rigid, mechanical one. Proportions feel slightly tall and poised, with generous counters and clear separation between stems, producing an open texture in text. The lowercase shows a measured rhythm with a single-storey a, a narrow, lightly hooked f, and a distinctive g whose form adds a touch of ornament while remaining consistent with the thin stroke system.
Well suited to headlines, deck type, pull quotes, and editorial display where its hairline structure and refined terminals can be appreciated. It can also support upscale branding, invitations, and packaging when used at comfortable sizes and with considerate letterspacing to preserve its crisp, light presence.
The overall tone is quiet, elegant, and literary—more about finesse than assertiveness. Its hairline construction and subtle terminal details suggest a cultured, editorial feel suited to refined typography and understated luxury.
The design appears intended to offer a contemporary take on a traditional bookish serif, emphasizing thin strokes, graceful bracketed serifs, and lightly calligraphic terminals to create an elevated, premium impression in display and editorial settings.
In running text the fine strokes and small details read best when given ample size and breathing room; the design rewards careful spacing and higher-quality reproduction. Figures and capitals maintain the same restrained, high-fashion delicacy, keeping a consistent, airy color across mixed content.
