A delicate serif with thin, tapered strokes and crisp, bracketed serifs that read as hairline at text sizes. Curves are smooth and generously open, with rounded bowls and a calm, even rhythm across lines. Terminals tend toward subtly calligraphic shaping, and the overall drawing favors lightness and clarity over heaviness, producing a clean page color and a slightly formal texture.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, essays, and book interiors where an elegant serif voice is desired. It also fits refined branding, invitations, and short-form display settings when used with adequate size and leading to preserve its delicate details.
The tone is refined and literary, suggesting editorial sophistication rather than overt display. Its light touch and graceful detailing feel poised and cultured, with a contemporary restraint that keeps it from looking overly ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, elegant text serif with a light footprint, combining classic serif conventions with finely tapered strokes for a polished reading experience in editorial contexts.
Uppercase forms are stately and spacious, while lowercase maintains a clear, readable flow with open counters and restrained detailing. Numerals appear lining and similarly light, matching the text color and maintaining the same delicate serif treatment for a consistent typographic voice.
