A delicate, high-contrast serif with thin hairlines and crisp, finely tapered serifs. The forms are upright and clean, with smooth, rounded bowls and a restrained, bookish rhythm. Capitals are stately and proportioned for display as well as text, while the lowercase keeps a moderate x-height with slender stems and carefully curved joins. Numerals follow the same refined contrast, with light, open counters and graceful curves that keep the texture bright on the page.
Well-suited to editorial typography, books, and magazine layouts where an elevated, traditional serif texture is desired. It can also serve for headlines, pull quotes, and refined stationery when set at sizes that preserve the thin strokes and sharp serifs.
The overall tone is elegant and literary, suggesting editorial sophistication and a classic, cultured voice. Its light touch and sharp finishing details give it a premium, formal feel without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, high-end reading and display serif with pronounced contrast and carefully finished terminals, prioritizing sophistication and a light, luminous page color.
In the sample text, the letterspacing and thin hairlines create an airy color that favors generous sizes and comfortable leading. Curved characters (like C, G, O, Q, and the lowercase a/e) emphasize smooth, polished contours, while pointed diagonals in V/W/X add a crisp, tailored snap.
