A delicate serif with thin, even strokes and crisp, lightly bracketed serifs that taper into stems. Curves are smooth and round with restrained modulation, and the overall color stays light and open on the page. Proportions lean elegant rather than compact: capitals are narrow and stately, while lowercase forms show a modest x-height with long, fine ascenders and descenders. Details such as the two-storey “g”, the curved-foot “R”, and the wedge-like terminals on strokes give the design a gently calligraphic, slightly old-style texture without becoming ornate.
Well suited to book and long-form editorial settings where a refined, classical voice is desired, particularly at comfortable reading sizes. It can also support premium branding, cultural institutions, and invitations or announcements where an elegant, understated serif is appropriate. The airy stroke weight favors clean layouts and good printing or screen rendering conditions.
The tone is refined and calm, suggesting literary and editorial traditions. Its lightness reads sophisticated and understated, with a sense of craftsmanship rather than assertiveness. Overall it feels poised and cultured—more suited to quiet elegance than bold display.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with an elevated, contemporary polish: traditional letterforms, careful serif shaping, and a light overall color aimed at graceful readability and a cultivated tone.
In the text sample, the rhythm is smooth and even, with generous counters that help the light strokes avoid clogging. Figures are similarly slender and formal, aligning with the typeface’s overall grace and making it feel well-matched for typographic compositions that prioritize finesse.
