A delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and fine, tapering serifs that read as hairline at display sizes. Curves are smooth and open, with a calm vertical posture and carefully controlled, slightly flared terminals. The lowercase shows compact, bookish proportions with a two-storey “a,” a single-storey “g” with a prominent ear, and long, gently tapered ascenders and descenders that add an airy rhythm. Figures are lining and similarly high-contrast, with elegant, thin joins and sharp apexes.
Best suited to editorial settings where elegance and contrast are assets—magazine headlines, pull quotes, and refined book titles. It can also support premium branding, packaging, and invitations when set with generous spacing and sufficient size to preserve the thin serifs and strokes.
The overall tone is poised and cultured, evoking traditional book typography and contemporary magazine refinement. Its lightness and crisp contrast convey sophistication and a sense of premium restraint rather than warmth or ruggedness.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern take on classic high-contrast serif letterforms, prioritizing elegance, sharpness, and a polished reading texture. Its proportions and detailing suggest a focus on sophisticated typography for titles and high-end editorial composition.
At larger sizes the hairline details and sharp joins become a defining feature, while in text the contrast and fine serifs create a bright, sparkling texture. The capitals feel stately and spacious, and the design’s consistent modulation gives paragraphs a formal, editorial cadence.
