This typeface is built around very slender strokes and finely tapered, hairline serifs. The letterforms lean on classical proportions with generous capitals, a noticeably smaller x-height, and open, rounded bowls that keep counters clear despite the light weight. Terminals often finish with soft, pointed or slightly flared endings, and curves transition smoothly into stems for a calm, even rhythm. Numerals and lowercase share the same delicate construction, with a particularly graceful, looping ‘g’ and a slender, lightly braced ‘1’.
Well suited to editorial headlines, pull quotes, book and magazine titling, and upscale branding where a refined serif presence is desired. It can also work for invitations and packaging when set with ample tracking and generous leading to preserve its airy texture.
The overall tone is poised and sophisticated, with an airy refinement that reads as editorial and cultured rather than utilitarian. Its delicacy suggests a premium, quiet-luxury sensibility—formal without feeling rigid.
The design appears intended to provide a contemporary take on a classical, hairline serif for elegant typography—favoring grace, openness, and a smooth reading rhythm in larger sizes while maintaining a restrained, conventional structure.
At larger sizes the thin serifs and long, clean curves give the face a crisp, high-end sparkle, while the smaller x-height and light construction make it feel more suited to display and spacious text settings than dense UI layouts. The design’s consistency across capitals, lowercase, and figures reinforces a polished, book-oriented voice.
