A delicate high-contrast serif with thin hairlines and sharper, slightly heavier verticals that create a crisp light color on the page. Serifs are fine and mostly bracketed, with tapered terminals and smooth, calligraphic modulation throughout. The proportions feel classical and open: round forms are generously drawn, counters stay clear, and spacing reads even and composed in running text. Uppercase shapes are stately and restrained, while the lowercase keeps a traditional rhythm with narrow joins, slender stems, and understated curves.
Well-suited for long-form editorial settings such as books, essays, and magazine typography where a classic serif voice is desired. It also works effectively for refined branding, invitations, and headlines that benefit from a light, high-contrast elegance without becoming overly decorative.
The overall tone is poised and literary, with a quiet luxury that suggests editorial polish rather than display theatrics. Its light touch and refined detailing convey sophistication, formality, and a sense of heritage.
The design appears intended to deliver a modernized classical text serif: restrained, highly legible in structure, and driven by calligraphic contrast for an elevated, premium feel in both display lines and composed reading settings.
In text, the strong contrast and fine serifs give a bright, elegant texture that benefits from comfortable sizes and good reproduction. Numerals and capitals match the same high-contrast logic, maintaining a consistent, composed voice across mixed content.
