A delicate text serif with fine, hairline serifs and a gently modulated stroke weight that stays crisp and even across the alphabet. Serifs are small and well bracketed, giving joins a smooth, carved-in feel rather than abrupt terminals. Curves are generously rounded (notably in C, O, Q, and e), while verticals remain straight and composed, producing a steady rhythm. Proportions feel classical, with moderate ascenders/descenders and open counters; numerals follow the same refined construction, with a flowing 2 and a balanced 8.
Well suited to editorial settings where a refined serif voice is desired: book interiors, long-form articles, and magazine typography, especially when set with comfortable leading. It can also work for understated display use—chapter openers, pull quotes, or formal printed materials—where its fine terminals and smooth modulation can be appreciated.
The overall tone is quiet and cultivated, leaning toward classic publishing aesthetics. Its thin detailing and graceful curves suggest sophistication and restraint rather than overt personality, making it feel formal without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended as a conventional, readable serif with a polished, classical finish. It prioritizes a smooth reading rhythm and elegant detailing, aiming to convey tradition and credibility while remaining visually light and unobtrusive.
At larger sizes the hairline details read especially clean, and the serif treatment keeps letterforms distinct while preserving an airy color on the page. The italic is not shown, and the displayed forms emphasize clarity and poise over strong texture or heaviness.
