A delicate, high-contrast serif with thin hairlines and sharper, weightier verticals. Serifs are small and bracketed, with a slightly calligraphic modulation that gives strokes a tapered, pen-influenced feel. Proportions are relatively narrow with tall capitals and tidy, compact lowercase; spacing reads even and controlled, supporting continuous text. Curves are smooth and restrained, and joins are clean, creating a polished, editorial rhythm.
Well-suited to book typography, long-form editorial layouts, and magazine features where a refined serif voice is desired. It also fits formal invitations and premium branding, particularly when set at comfortable reading sizes where the fine hairlines can remain clear.
The overall tone is poised and literary, with an understated sophistication that feels at home in traditional print contexts. Its fine details and crisp contrast convey formality and care, leaning more toward cultured elegance than casual friendliness.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with elevated contrast and carefully finished details, aiming for classic readability paired with a more fashion-forward, refined texture. It balances traditional proportions and familiar structures with subtle calligraphic cues to keep the page color lively.
Distinctive details include a gently curling tail on the Q and a slightly decorative, looped feel in letters like g and y, which adds personality without becoming ornamental. Numerals are similarly refined, with slender forms and pronounced contrast that align well with the letterforms.
