A delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline serifs. Stems are slender and vertical, while curved strokes taper smoothly into fine terminals, creating a light, open texture on the page. Proportions feel traditional with moderate ascenders and descenders, a relatively small-to-moderate x-height, and generous internal counters. Letterforms favor clean, controlled geometry: round characters are near-circular, joins are tidy, and spacing reads even, producing a composed rhythm in text.
Performs best in editorial contexts where finesse and contrast are assets—magazine typography, book interiors at comfortable sizes, pull quotes, and refined headings. It also suits premium branding, invitations, and identity systems that want a cultured, understated elegance. Because the thinnest strokes are very fine, it will look most confident in print or high-resolution digital settings with adequate size and line spacing.
The overall tone is refined and literary, with a quiet sophistication that suggests classic publishing and cultural institutions. Its lightness and sharp details add an elegant, slightly formal voice, suited to polished, high-end communication rather than utilitarian or rugged settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-contrast reading experience with a light typographic color and an emphasis on sharp detail. It prioritizes elegance and composure over robustness, aiming for a refined voice that remains orderly in continuous text.
Uppercase forms show a restrained, classical construction with minimal flourish, while the lowercase introduces subtle calligraphic cues in terminals and ear-like details. Numerals are similarly slender and composed, matching the text color without drawing undue attention.
