A delicate serif with finely bracketed serifs and a light color on the page. Strokes show clear but controlled contrast, with thin hairlines and sharper joins that stay clean rather than calligraphic. Proportions lean slightly narrow and tall, with generous internal space and open apertures that keep text airy. Terminals are crisp and tapered, curves are smooth and disciplined, and overall spacing reads even in continuous text.
Well-suited to book interiors, long-form editorial, and magazine typography where a light, polished serif is desired. It also fits formal print applications such as invitations, programs, and refined brand collateral, especially at sizes where its fine serifs and contrast can remain clear.
The tone is classical and composed, evoking book typography and editorial restraint. Its lightness and crisp detailing feel refined and formal, suggesting a traditional, literary voice rather than a utilitarian one.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with a lighter, more elegant rendering—prioritizing smooth reading rhythm, classic proportions, and a restrained, editorial finish.
Uppercase forms read stately and balanced, while the lowercase maintains a calm rhythm with modest ascenders and descenders that add elegance without becoming fussy. Numerals are similarly light and drawn with a traditional, text-oriented character, matching the type’s understated refinement.
