A delicate serif with tall proportions and a finely drawn, calligraphic skeleton. Strokes are slender with clear contrast, tapering into sharp, bracketed serifs and softly curved joins. Counters are open and the spacing feels measured, producing a light, airy rhythm in text. Several letters show subtle, engraved-like inner detailing and hairline echo strokes that add texture while keeping the overall silhouette crisp.
Well suited to editorial and literary settings where a light, sophisticated serif can carry long passages with grace, such as books, magazines, and essays. It also works effectively for formal collateral—programs, invitations, and refined branding—especially when set at moderate to larger sizes where the delicate details remain clear.
The font conveys a poised, bookish elegance with a slightly ornamental edge. Its thin strokes and refined terminals suggest formality and restraint, while the faint internal linework adds a cultured, vintage flavor reminiscent of engraved titling and editorial typography.
Likely designed to provide a contemporary take on a traditional text serif: readable and composed in paragraphs, yet polished enough for elegant headings. The added internal line accents suggest an intention to introduce a subtle decorative signature without sacrificing conventional text-serf structure.
Uppercase forms feel stately and high-waisted, with smooth curves and controlled modulation; the lowercase maintains a calm, readable flow without becoming purely utilitarian. Numerals follow the same refined logic, reading cleanly at display sizes while remaining consistent with the serif vocabulary.
