A delicate serif with hairline strokes, crisp wedge-like serifs, and a distinctly vertical, high-waisted posture. The design shows pronounced thin–thick modulation that stays controlled rather than dramatic, with narrow letterforms and generous internal whitespace. Curves are smooth and taut, terminals are sharp and tapered, and the overall rhythm is airy and even. Capitals are tall and restrained; lowercase forms keep a compact, clean structure with fine entry/exit strokes and a single-storey “g.” Numerals follow the same refined, high-contrast logic with light joins and slender stems.
Well-suited to editorial headlines, magazine typography, and refined branding where a light, sophisticated serif is desired. It can work for pull quotes, invitations, and upscale packaging, especially at medium-to-large sizes. For extended reading, it benefits from comfortable size and spacing to preserve the fine details and avoid hairline loss.
The font conveys a poised, cultured tone—formal without feeling heavy. Its thin strokes and tall proportions suggest sophistication and restraint, evoking bookish, boutique, and gallery-like contexts rather than utilitarian signage.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-fashion interpretation of a classic text serif: narrow, elegant proportions combined with crisp serifs and carefully moderated contrast for a polished, premium voice.
In the sample text, long lines retain an elegant texture, but the extremely thin hairlines create a very light page color; the type reads best when given ample size, leading, and a clean printing/screen environment. Sharp apexes and tapered terminals add a slightly fashion-forward, display-leaning polish while remaining rooted in conventional serif structure.
