A delicate text serif with tall proportions and a restrained, rhythmic color. Strokes are fine and clean, with subtly tapered terminals and bracketed serifs that stay crisp even at display sizes. Curves are smoothly drawn and slightly calligraphic in feel, while verticals remain steady, giving the face a composed, editorial texture. Counters are relatively compact and the spacing reads measured, producing a polished, narrow column of text.
Well suited to editorial design where a sophisticated serif voice is needed—magazine features, book typography, and refined headlines. It can also serve in formal communication pieces such as invitations or cultural programming, especially where a slender, elegant texture is desired.
The overall tone is refined and bookish, with a quiet formality suited to classic publishing aesthetics. Its light, precise detailing lends an upscale, cultivated voice without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended as a conventional reading serif with a more fashion-forward, slender stance, balancing classic serif structure with lighter, more refined detailing for contemporary editorial use.
Uppercase forms feel stately and slender, and the numerals echo the same thin, tapered construction for a consistent typographic palette. The italic is not shown, so the personality here is conveyed entirely through the controlled roman drawing and its fine serif details.
