This typeface is an extremely delicate serif with hairline strokes and a clean, controlled rhythm. Serifs are fine and sharp, with a lightly calligraphic feel in the curved joins and tapered terminals. Proportions are tall and restrained, with generous counters and noticeable vertical emphasis; round letters stay open and smooth rather than tightly compact. The italic is not shown, and the roman maintains consistent, precise curves in bowls and arcs, while diagonals (V, W, Y) appear thin and crisp. Numerals echo the same light, elegant construction, with simple forms and subtle curvature.
Well suited to editorial headlines, fashion and beauty applications, premium branding, and elegant packaging where the thin serifs can be rendered cleanly. It can also work for short text passages in high-resolution print or on bright, well-supported screens, especially when set with comfortable tracking and leading.
The overall tone is poised and luxurious, combining classical bookish manners with a contemporary sense of lightness. Its thin strokes and spacious shapes read as premium and editorial, lending a quiet sophistication rather than a loud display voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a refined, high-end text serif with an emphasis on lightness and precision. By pairing hairline detailing with disciplined proportions and open counters, it aims to communicate sophistication and modern polish while retaining traditional serif credibility.
At text sizes the hairline construction will reward high-quality reproduction, while at smaller sizes the fine details may require careful sizing and sufficient contrast against the background. The lowercase shows a traditional serif text skeleton with a single-storey ‘a’ and a lively ‘g’, adding a slightly literary, old-style flavor to an otherwise sleek presentation.
