A delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline terminals. The letterforms are upright and relatively narrow in feel, with smooth, round bowls (notably in C, O, and e) contrasted by slender stems and finely tapered joins. Serifs are small and sharp rather than blocky, and curves resolve into pointed, calligraphic-looking tips in places, giving the outlines a precise, engraved quality. The lowercase shows a two-storey a and g, a compact, tidy rhythm, and numerals that match the same high-contrast, finely finished construction.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazine layouts, book jackets, and refined branding where an elegant serif texture is desired. It can add a high-end feel to headlines, display lines, and short passages of text, especially in print-oriented compositions with generous leading and margins.
The overall tone is poised and cultured, suggesting editorial polish and quiet luxury. Its fine details and high contrast convey sophistication and a slightly formal, literary character rather than a casual or utilitarian voice.
The font appears designed to deliver a contemporary, polished take on classic serif proportions, prioritizing elegance, contrast, and clean, sharply finished detailing for sophisticated reading and display settings.
The design reads best when given enough size and breathing room for the hairline strokes and sharp terminals to remain clear. In the text sample, the spacing and smooth curves create a calm, flowing texture, while the contrast adds sparkle in headings and pull quotes.
