A delicate serif with slim stems, compact proportions, and gently bracketed serifs. The stroke modulation is noticeable but controlled, with fine hairlines and slightly fuller verticals that keep the color light and airy. Counters are open and the spacing feels measured, producing an even rhythm in text despite the narrow set. Curves are smooth and restrained, and terminals tend toward crisp, tapered finishes rather than blunt cuts, reinforcing a polished, bookish texture.
Works well for editorial typography such as magazines, book interiors, and literary or cultural publications where a light, elegant serif texture is desired. It can also suit formal collateral—programs, invitations, and premium branding—especially when set with generous leading or at sizes that preserve the fine details.
The overall tone is elegant and traditional, with a quiet formality that reads as literary and cultivated. Its light presence and narrow footprint give it a poised, understated character suitable for sophisticated settings rather than loud display.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional serif voice with a lighter, more economical footprint, balancing classic proportions with delicate detailing for a refined reading experience and tasteful display use.
The numerals and capitals keep the same slender, high-contrast logic, maintaining consistency across the set. In the sample text, the type creates a fine, continuous text line with a distinctly refined sparkle from the thin horizontals and serifs.
