A delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and tapered, subtly flared stroke endings that read as soft wedge-like terminals rather than blunt slabs. The proportions are classical and moderately narrow, with round forms kept open and clean, and a steady vertical rhythm that feels measured and even. Serifs are small and sharp, curves are smooth and controlled, and joins stay crisp; the overall color on the page is light and airy, especially in text where thin hairlines remain prominent.
It performs well in editorial settings—magazines, book interiors, essays, and long-form reading—where a light typographic color and classical detailing are valued. It can also work for refined collateral such as invitations, programs, and headings that call for a crisp, elegant serif voice without heavy weight.
The tone is refined and bookish, with an old-style elegance that feels formal without becoming ornate. It conveys restraint and clarity, giving text a calm, editorial voice suited to traditional, cultured contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classical serif: high contrast, restrained detailing, and flared terminals that add character while keeping the overall texture quiet and readable. The aim seems to be a sophisticated text-and-display companion that stays graceful at size and feels at home in polished editorial layouts.
Capitals have a stately, inscriptional presence with gently tapered stems and carefully shaped diagonals, while lowercase maintains a straightforward, readable skeleton. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, looking well-suited to running text and occasional display use where a light, polished impression is desired.
