A delicate serif with sharp, hairline finishing strokes and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Curves are smoothly drawn and slightly calligraphic, with tapered terminals and fine joins that keep counters open and bright. Uppercase forms feel stately and well-proportioned, while the lowercase shows a traditional book-face rhythm with a two-storey “g,” compact “a,” and a slender, slightly hooked “f.” Numerals are similarly refined, with light, precise details and an overall even color at text sizes despite the thin horizontals and serifs.
Well-suited to editorial typography, book and long-form reading, and other contexts where a refined, classical serif voice is desired. It can also elevate headlines, pull quotes, and invitations when set with generous spacing and high-quality output.
The tone is polished and literary, conveying quiet sophistication rather than display drama. Its high-contrast, finely tapered details give it a fashion-editorial elegance, while the conventional proportions keep it grounded and readable.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a traditional high-contrast text serif: elegant proportions, crisp hairline details, and a calm reading rhythm that feels appropriate for literature and editorial layouts.
Diagonal strokes (notably in V, W, and Y) come to crisp points, and round letters like O and Q show clean, controlled bowls; the Q features a graceful, looping tail. The overall texture is light and sparkling on the page, with punctuation and dots appearing small and restrained relative to the letterforms.
