A delicate serif text face with fine, bracketed serifs and softly tapered strokes. Curves are round and even, with open counters and a clear, steady rhythm that reads smoothly in paragraph settings. The capitals are proportioned with a restrained, traditional construction, while the lowercase shows gentle calligraphic influence in details like the ear and terminals. Numerals appear oldstyle, sitting comfortably with the lowercase and reinforcing a literary, continuous-text feel.
Well-suited to book typography, essays, and magazine editorial where an unobtrusive serif voice is needed. It can also serve refined display roles—such as titling, pull quotes, and invitations—especially when ample whitespace and comfortable leading are part of the layout.
The overall tone is quiet and cultivated, projecting a classic, editorial sensibility without feeling heavy or stern. Its light touch and open shapes lend an elegant, airy presence that suits sophisticated, long-form reading.
The design appears intended as a conventional, highly readable serif for continuous reading, balancing traditional forms with a lighter, more spacious color on the page. The use of oldstyle numerals and restrained detailing suggests an emphasis on classic editorial composition and typographic grace.
Serif detailing stays consistent across the set, with subtle modulation and no exaggerated quirks. Round letters like C, G, and O maintain smooth, stable forms, and diagonals (V, W, X, Y) remain crisp without becoming sharp or brittle at the joins.
