A finely drawn serif with slim, bracketed serifs and gently tapered strokes. The shapes lean on classical proportions: capitals are tall and open, while lowercase forms keep a balanced, readable rhythm with modest x-height and clear counters. Stroke endings are crisp and slightly flared, with smooth transitions into stems that give the face an engraved, text-oriented feel. Numerals are slender and aligned with the overall vertical emphasis, maintaining the same restrained contrast and delicate detailing.
Well-suited to editorial settings such as books, magazines, and long-form reading where a classic serif texture is desired. It can also work for refined headings, pull quotes, and formal materials like invitations or cultural/event programs, particularly when paired with generous leading to support its light strokes.
The overall tone is traditional and composed, conveying a quiet sophistication associated with editorial and literary typography. Its lightness and clean finishing details create an elegant, formal impression without feeling ornate.
The design appears intended as a conventional, literary serif that prioritizes a polished page color and classical detailing. Its narrow proportions and careful serif shaping suggest a focus on elegant text setting and space-efficient composition while retaining a traditional voice.
The font’s vertical stress and consistent serif treatment help lines of text look orderly and measured, while the narrow set encourages compact typography. In the sample text, long lines maintain an even texture, with punctuation and capitals reading cleanly against the delicate stroke weight.
