A delicate serif with smooth, bracketed serifs and gently tapered stems. Curves are generous and open, with round counters and a steady, moderately contrasty rhythm that stays consistent across upper- and lowercase. Uppercase forms feel spacious and classical, while the lowercase shows long ascenders/descenders and a relatively small, unobtrusive dot on i and j. Numerals are oldstyle in feel, with varied heights and flowing curves that match the text color of the letters.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a refined serif texture is desired. It can also serve nicely for cultural or academic branding and for formal printed pieces like programs or invitations, especially at medium text sizes where its open counters and gentle contrast remain clear.
The overall tone is refined and bookish, suggesting traditional publishing and cultured editorial settings. Its light touch and measured contrast create a quiet elegance rather than a loud display presence, lending text an airy, composed voice.
The design appears intended to provide a contemporary take on a conventional text serif: light on the page, highly readable, and stylistically conservative with subtle refinement in the serifs and stroke endings. Its proportions and oldstyle-like numerals aim for an unobtrusive, literary presence that supports continuous reading.
Terminals tend to finish with subtle teardrop or wedge-like modulation, and joints are softly resolved, avoiding abrupt sharpness. The italic is not shown, and the sample suggests comfortable word shapes with clear differentiation between similar forms (such as O/0 and I/l).
