A delicate serif with hairline-thin strokes and crisp, finely tapered terminals. The letters are tall and slender, with generous counters and a calm, even rhythm that keeps the texture open on the page. Serifs are sharp and understated, and curves resolve cleanly into thin joins, giving round forms like O and e a polished, drawn-with-a-pen precision. Numerals follow the same light, graceful construction, with smooth curves and minimal visual weight.
Best suited to display and larger text settings such as magazine typography, book jackets, pull quotes, and refined brand wordmarks where the hairline detail can be appreciated. It can also work for short passages in high-quality print when set with comfortable size and spacing to preserve its airy color.
The overall tone is poised and cultured, leaning toward editorial sophistication rather than utilitarian neutrality. Its lightness and finely cut details suggest a quiet luxury and a classical sensibility that feels at home in literary and fashion contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic text-serif voice with heightened finesse—prioritizing elegance, sharp serif detailing, and a light typographic color for premium editorial and branding use.
At small sizes or on low-resolution output, the thinnest strokes and serifs may appear fragile, while at larger sizes the crisp modulation and tall proportions read especially clean and upscale. The lowercase shows restrained, conventional forms with a noticeably delicate dot and elegant bowl-and-stem relationships.
