A delicate serif with fine, bracketed serifs and gently tapered terminals. Strokes are slender with clear thick–thin modulation, and curves are smooth and generously rounded, producing open counters and a light page color. Proportions lean slightly narrow with tall caps and long ascenders/descenders, while spacing remains even and controlled for continuous reading. Details like the subtly flared feet and crisp joins keep the forms sharp without becoming brittle.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, books, and long-form reading where an elegant serif texture is desired. It can also serve in refined brand communications, invitations, and headlines that benefit from a light, classic voice, especially when set with comfortable leading and not too small.
The overall tone is graceful and understated, with a quiet sophistication associated with traditional book typography. Its airy strokes and measured rhythm feel formal yet approachable, lending a polished, editorial character rather than a loud display presence.
The design appears intended as a contemporary take on conventional text serif construction: prioritizing readability, balanced rhythm, and a refined finish, while keeping the overall color light and the letterforms open for clarity.
In the sample text, the font maintains consistent texture across mixed case, with clean punctuation and numerals that match the lightness of the letters. The thin joins and hairline serifs suggest it will look best when given sufficient size and print/screen conditions that preserve fine details.
