A delicate serif with hairline strokes and an overall monoline rhythm, where thin verticals and gently tapered curves keep the texture light on the page. Serifs read as small slab-like feet with subtle rounding and occasional bracketing, giving terminals a soft, finished feel rather than sharp cuts. Proportions are compact and columnar, with tall capitals, small counters, and a restrained, tidy lowercase; curves are smooth and slightly calligraphic, especially in letters like a, g, and y. Numerals are slender and open, with simple, legible forms and minimal ornament.
Well-suited to editorial headlines, book and chapter titles, and refined branding where a light, sophisticated serif voice is desired. It also fits invitations, menus, and packaging that benefit from an elegant, airy texture, especially when set with ample tracking and line spacing.
The tone is poised and literary, combining a classical bookish sensibility with a faint playful sparkle from the rounded terminals and quirky curves. It feels courteous and refined rather than loud, lending a gentle, slightly old-world character to headlines and short passages.
The design appears intended to deliver a slim, graceful serif for display and high-quality text settings, pairing classical proportions with softened slab-like terminals for a distinctive but restrained personality.
Spacing appears even and controlled, producing a clean vertical cadence in running text. The design’s light strokes and fine serifs suggest it will look best with generous size or comfortable resolution where the delicate details can remain visible.
