A delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and fine, hairline serifs. Strokes show a calligraphic, old-style stress in rounded forms, with smooth curves and carefully tapered terminals that keep counters open despite the light construction. Capitals are proportioned with an understated, classical stance, while the lowercase combines modest ascenders/descenders and small, sharp finishing details for a crisp texture. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, mixing straight stems with elegant curves and thin joins.
Works well for book and magazine typography, essays, and other editorial contexts where a classic serif voice is desired. It also suits invitations, packaging, and premium branding when set at comfortable sizes with adequate line spacing to preserve its fine detailing.
The overall tone is refined and literary, combining elegance with a quiet formality. Its lightness and high contrast give it an airy, upscale feel suited to polished typography rather than utilitarian settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic text-serif reading experience with an elegant, high-contrast finish. It prioritizes graceful curves, traditional proportions, and a refined typographic color for sophisticated composition.
In text, the rhythm is smooth and even, with a noticeably bright page color and a slightly sparkling surface from the thin serifs and transitions. The design reads as traditional and composed, with punctuation and small details kept slender to match the stroke contrast.
