A delicate serif with fine hairlines, softly bracketed serifs, and gently modulated strokes. The overall construction favors tapered terminals and smooth, calligraphic transitions, giving curves a polished, slightly formal rhythm. Proportions are balanced with a moderate x-height and relatively tall ascenders, while spacing reads open and even in text. Figures and capitals share the same restrained, high-contrast-leaning delicacy, staying consistent with the typeface’s light, crisp color.
This design suits editorial typography—books, essays, and magazine features—where a refined serif texture and steady reading rhythm are desired. It also performs well for literary titling, invitations, and upscale branding that benefits from a light, elegant presence.
The font conveys a quiet, literary elegance—measured and traditional without feeling overly ornate. Its restrained detailing and airy stroke weight suggest formality and refinement, suited to calm, authoritative communication rather than loud display.
The typeface appears intended as a conventional, versatile text serif with a more delicate, polished finish—aiming for readability while projecting sophistication through fine serifs and controlled stroke modulation.
In the sample text, the type maintains a smooth baseline rhythm and a clean hierarchy between capitals and lowercase. The letterforms show subtle personality through tapered endings and soft serif joins, producing a polished texture that stays composed at larger text sizes.
