A delicate text serif with thin, tapering hairline serifs and gently modulated strokes. The letterforms feel open and spacious, with rounded bowls and smooth curves that keep counters clear at display sizes. Ascenders and descenders are notably long, giving lines a graceful vertical rhythm, while terminals often finish in subtle wedges or small beaks rather than blunt cuts. The overall construction is even and restrained, with a clean, bookish texture rather than overt calligraphic flair.
Well suited to editorial typography such as books, magazines, essays, and cultural writing where a refined serif texture is desirable. It can also work for invitations, branding wordmarks, and other display applications that benefit from a light, elegant serif presence, especially when set with comfortable leading.
The face communicates a classic, cultivated tone—polished and slightly formal without feeling ornate. Its lightness and generous spacing read as calm and articulate, suggesting editorial sophistication and a measured, traditional voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, readable serif voice with an elevated, graceful finish—prioritizing clarity through open forms while using fine serifs and long extenders to add sophistication and typographic charm.
Capital forms appear stately and balanced, and numerals are slender with a similarly refined presence. The italic is not shown; the sample text demonstrates consistent color across mixed-case settings and maintains clarity through open shapes and unobtrusive detailing.
