A light, open serif with gently bracketed serifs and moderate stroke modulation that stays even and controlled. The letterforms are spacious with rounded bowls and clear, uncluttered counters, giving the face an airy texture on the page. Uppercase proportions feel steady and formal, while the lowercase shows a tall x-height and straightforward, upright construction; terminals are clean rather than calligraphically fussy. Numerals follow the same restrained rhythm, with smooth curves and consistent stem weight.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books, magazines, and editorial layouts where a light, elegant serif can maintain clarity. It can also serve effectively for refined headings, pull quotes, and captions when a restrained, literary tone is desired.
The overall tone is refined and editorial—quietly authoritative without looking heavy or ornate. Its lightness and generous spacing read as modern-classical, suggesting careful typesetting and a measured, literary voice.
The design appears aimed at conventional text typography: a readable, lightly drawn serif that prioritizes even color, open counters, and a composed, professional rhythm for continuous reading.
The sample text shows a smooth reading rhythm with minimal visual noise, supported by open apertures and clear differentiation between similar shapes. Curved forms (like O/C/e) are particularly round and regular, reinforcing a calm, polished texture.
