A delicate modern serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and fine hairlines throughout. Serifs are small and crisp, with a restrained, contemporary finish that keeps terminals clean and controlled rather than bracketing heavily. Proportions are balanced and slightly narrow in feel, with generous internal whitespace, round counters, and a steady vertical rhythm that reads smoothly in continuous text. Uppercase forms are stately and open, while the lowercase maintains a calm, even color with subtly tapered joins and neatly drawn diagonals.
Well-suited for magazine and book typography where a refined, high-contrast serif can provide an elegant voice. It works particularly well for headlines, pull quotes, and titling, and can also support premium branding and formal collateral when set with comfortable sizes and spacing.
The overall tone is polished and cultivated, evoking editorial sophistication and quiet luxury. Its lightness and high contrast give it a fashion-forward, high-end feel, while the classical construction keeps it grounded and literary rather than showy.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-end serif voice with classical underpinnings: clean construction, disciplined rhythm, and a light, high-contrast palette that emphasizes sophistication and whitespace.
The numerals and capitals share the same refined contrast and careful spacing, creating a consistent texture across mixed alphanumeric settings. At larger sizes the fine details feel especially crisp and graceful; at smaller sizes the hairlines may require thoughtful reproduction settings to maintain clarity.
