A delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and hairline terminals that create a crisp, airy texture on the page. Serifs are fine and lightly bracketed, with smooth joins and a controlled, upright stance. The proportions feel classically bookish: capitals are stately and open, round letters are cleanly drawn, and spacing reads measured rather than tight. Numerals and lowercase maintain the same high-contrast logic, yielding a consistent rhythm that stays graceful even in dense text.
Well-suited to fashion-led editorial design, literary covers, and premium branding where refinement and whitespace are part of the aesthetic. It can work for short-to-medium passages at comfortable sizes, and excels in display settings such as headlines, pull quotes, and elegant invitations where its hairline detailing can be appreciated.
The overall tone is poised and refined, projecting a quiet luxury associated with editorial typography. Its light touch and sharp contrast lend a sophisticated, cultured voice—more formal than friendly, and more elegant than utilitarian.
Designed to deliver a contemporary take on a classical serif voice: high contrast, restrained proportions, and finely finished serifs aimed at conveying polish and sophistication in print-like layouts.
The high contrast and hairline details create strong sparkle in highlights and thin cross-strokes, especially in diagonals and curved joins. The italic is not shown; the visible style emphasizes a calm, upright cadence with a slightly calligraphic finish in terminals and serifs.
