A delicate text serif with pronounced stroke modulation and fine, hairline terminals. The letterforms show a classic, bookish construction with bracketed serifs, tapered joins, and a crisp vertical stress that keeps counters open and forms clean. Uppercase proportions feel stately and slightly narrow, while the lowercase maintains an even, readable rhythm with modest ascenders/descenders and carefully shaped curves. Numerals and punctuation follow the same light, sharply cut treatment, giving the overall texture a bright, refined page color.
It works well for editorial settings such as books, essays, and magazine typography where a refined serif voice is desired. The sharp contrast and airy texture also suit display roles—titles, pull quotes, and cultural branding—especially when set with comfortable leading and not too small.
The font conveys a poised, cultured tone—more gallery-programme and literary than industrial. Its thin hairlines and precise finishing read as elegant and premium, with a quiet formality suited to polished editorial typography.
The likely intent is a contemporary take on classical text serifs: preserve traditional proportions and reading rhythm while emphasizing delicacy, contrast, and clean finishing for an upscale, editorial feel.
The design’s contrast and fine details are especially noticeable in curved letters and in the delicately cupped serifs, which create a crisp sparkle at larger sizes. Spacing appears measured and calm, producing a smooth line of text without looking mechanical.
