This serif typeface is drawn with very thin hairlines and noticeably wider proportions, creating an open, airy texture on the page. Serifs are fine and bracketed, with smooth joins and gently tapered terminals that keep forms crisp rather than blunt. Curves are round and controlled, counters are generous, and spacing feels comfortable, producing a calm rhythm in text. The lowercase shows a two-storey “g” and a two-storey “a”, a slender, softly-shouldered “r”, and compact, neatly finished punctuation-like details such as the small i/j dots.
It works well for editorial typography such as book interiors, essays, and magazine features where a classic serif texture is desired without heaviness. The graceful capitals and delicate details also suit invitations, programs, and other formal communications, while its width can add polish to headlines and pull quotes when set with generous leading.
The overall tone is refined and literary, with a quiet sophistication that reads as traditional and composed rather than decorative. Its light stroke presence and ample width lend it a graceful, formal voice suited to high-end editorial and cultural contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, readable serif voice with a lighter, more spacious color—combining traditional proportions and familiar letterforms with fine detailing for an elevated, contemporary editorial feel.
Capital forms are stately with restrained flare, while figures are slim and elegant, matching the delicate stroke weight and maintaining a consistent, understated color. The design prioritizes clarity through open shapes, but the very fine strokes suggest it will look best when given sufficient size or print resolution.
