A delicate serif design with hairline strokes and crisp, tapered terminals that often flare into small wedge-like serifs. Curves are drawn with smooth, near-monoline modulation and a clean, controlled rhythm, while verticals stay extremely slim, giving the overall texture a light, open color on the page. Letterforms lean toward classical proportions with slightly idiosyncratic details—such as fine entry/exit strokes, gentle bracketing, and occasional curled or hooked terminals—creating a distinctive silhouette without becoming ornate. Numerals and capitals maintain the same thin, polished construction, emphasizing precision and spacing over mass.
Best suited to display and larger text settings where its hairline construction and refined terminals can remain clear—magazine headlines, pull quotes, fashion and beauty branding, book covers, and invitations. It can also work for short-form editorial text when set with comfortable size and leading to preserve its airy contrast and fine detail.
The tone is graceful and cultivated, suggesting editorial sophistication and a quiet sense of luxury. Subtle eccentricities in terminals and joins add a hint of personality—more poetic than formal—making it feel curated and slightly theatrical rather than strictly traditional.
Likely intended to offer a sophisticated serif voice with a light footprint, combining classical proportions with distinctive terminal flourishes to stand out in headlines and identity work. The design prioritizes elegance and nuance over robustness, aiming for a premium, cultivated impression.
In longer text the thin strokes and open counters produce a bright, elegant page texture, with fine serifs and tapered ends supplying definition at larger sizes. The design’s character comes primarily from its terminal treatment and the tension between very slender stems and generously rounded bowls.
