A delicate serif with fine, bracketed serifs and gently modulated strokes. Capitals are well-proportioned and relatively wide, with smooth curves and restrained terminals, while the lowercase shows open counters and a steady, even rhythm. The design leans toward clarity over decoration: joins are clean, curves are round and controlled, and spacing reads as comfortable in text. Numerals follow the same understated construction, with simple, readable forms and consistent stroke logic.
Well-suited to book and long-form editorial typography where a light, elegant serif is desired, especially in print-like layouts. It also works for refined display applications—such as chapter openings, magazine features, and formal stationery—where a classic tone and high legibility are important.
The overall tone is classic and composed, suggesting editorial refinement and a quietly traditional voice. Its light, crisp presence feels polished rather than emphatic, lending a measured, literate character to paragraphs and headings alike.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with an emphasis on elegance and readability: modest contrast, careful spacing, and restrained detailing that supports continuous reading while still feeling elevated.
Several letters show subtly flared or tapered terminals that add warmth without becoming calligraphic. The italic is not shown, and the sample emphasizes how the fine details and serifs hold together in continuous reading at larger text sizes.
