A delicate serif with strongly tapered strokes and fine hairlines, creating a clear thick–thin rhythm throughout. Serifs are small and bracketed, with crisp terminals that keep the outlines clean and controlled. Proportions are relatively compact, with tall capitals, narrow rounds, and a steady vertical stress; the overall texture reads airy yet structured. In text, the spacing and consistent contrast produce a smooth, continuous line suitable for extended reading while still feeling distinctly stylized.
Well suited to book and long-form editorial typography where a refined serif texture is desired, and it also performs nicely in magazine headlines, pull quotes, and section openers. The light hairlines and crisp serifs suggest using it at moderate-to-large sizes or in high-quality print/digital contexts where detail will hold.
The tone is polished and literary, balancing traditional bookish formality with a fashion-leaning elegance. Its thin hairlines and precise serifs give it a cultured, curated feel that reads as premium rather than utilitarian.
The font appears intended as a contemporary interpretation of a conventional text serif: maintaining familiar letterforms and reading rhythm while emphasizing elegance through pronounced contrast, slim proportions, and carefully bracketed serifs.
The design shows a noticeable vertical emphasis and restrained detailing: curves are taut, joins are neat, and stroke endings often finish in fine, pointed or slightly flared terminals. Numerals follow the same refined contrast and look designed to sit comfortably alongside text, supporting editorial typography rather than heavy data-forward settings.
