A delicate serif with hairline strokes and lightly bracketed serifs, combining crisp terminals with softly tapered joins. The proportions are tall and relatively condensed, with generous counters and a calm, even rhythm across text. Uppercase forms read elegant and restrained, while lowercase shows subtle calligraphic influence in details like the ear and terminals, keeping the texture open and lightly drawn. Numerals follow the same refined, thin-stroke construction, with clear, traditional shapes and modest curvature.
It performs best where a refined, lightweight serif is desired—such as literary or editorial layouts, magazine features, pull quotes, and elegant invitations. It can also serve for tasteful headlines and subheads where its fine detailing and airy texture have room to breathe.
The overall tone is poised and cultivated, evoking bookish sophistication rather than display eccentricity. Its light color on the page creates an airy, quiet presence that feels formal and considered. The design suggests a classic, editorial sensibility suited to refined typography.
The design appears intended as a conventional, readable serif with an emphasis on elegance and delicacy, prioritizing a light typographic color and classical proportions. It aims to provide a polished, formal voice for editorial and literary settings without resorting to overt ornament.
In longer text, the very thin horizontals and fine serifs create a sparkling texture with noticeable whitespace between strokes. Curves are smooth and controlled, and terminals tend toward sharp, precise endings that emphasize the font’s finesse.
