A delicate, oldstyle serif with bracketed serifs, tapered terminals, and gently modulated strokes that give a crisp but not harsh texture. Proportions are classical and moderately condensed in the capitals, with rounded bowls and a steady, even rhythm across lines of text. Lowercase forms show a traditional two-storey “a” and “g,” a modest x-height, and slender ascenders/descenders that contribute to an airy, high-contrast page color without looking brittle. Numerals are lining and align cleanly with the cap height, matching the same restrained stroke modulation and serif treatment.
Well-suited to long-form reading contexts such as books, essays, and magazine features where an elegant, traditional serif texture is desired. It also fits formal communication—programs, invitations, and cultural or institutional materials—especially when paired with generous leading and comfortable text sizes.
The overall tone is literary and composed, evoking traditional book typography and editorial refinement. It feels formal without being ornate, projecting clarity, tact, and a quiet sense of authority.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif that prioritizes classical proportions, smooth reading rhythm, and a refined typographic voice. Its restrained detailing and consistent modulation suggest a focus on versatile, general-purpose editorial composition rather than display eccentricity.
Counters are open and well-shaped, helping maintain legibility despite the light texture. The italic is not shown; the presented style maintains a consistent upright, text-forward character with subtle calligraphic influence in curves and joins.
