A very slender serif with pronounced stroke contrast and hairline serifs that taper to sharp, clean terminals. Curves are smooth and open, with a disciplined vertical stress and generous interior space that keeps counters bright. Serifs are finely bracketed and understated, giving stems a poised, cultivated finish. The lowercase shows a classical rhythm with narrow joins and a light, even color, while capitals are spacious and calmly proportioned for display settings.
Best suited to editorial headlines, magazine typography, book covers and title pages, and refined brand identities where a delicate, high-contrast serif can signal quality. It will be most effective at larger sizes or in well-printed contexts where the hairline details can remain clear.
The overall tone is graceful and premium, projecting a quiet formality rather than loud personality. Its thin strokes and crisp detailing suggest sophistication and restraint, lending a polished, editorial feel to headlines and curated typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-end take on conventional text serifs—prioritizing elegance, contrast, and crisp finishing details while maintaining familiar, readable letterforms for editorial and brand use.
In the samples, spacing reads comfortable and airy, with an emphasis on verticality and elegance. The numerals appear similarly light and refined, matching the serif treatment and contrast of the letters for a consistent typographic voice.
