A slender serif with tall proportions and generous sidebearings that create an airy rhythm. Strokes are finely drawn with moderate contrast, and the serifs read as squared and slab-like with subtle bracketing, giving terminals a crisp yet slightly softened finish. Curves are round and open (notably in C, O, Q, and the numerals), while verticals remain straight and steady, producing a clean, upright texture. The lowercase is noticeably small relative to capitals, with long ascenders and descenders that add elegance and vertical movement in text.
Well suited to editorial typography, book interiors, and longer-form reading where a light, refined texture is desired. It also works effectively for invitations, certificates, and premium packaging or labels that benefit from a classic serif presence without heavy weight.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, with a quiet refinement that feels literary rather than loud or industrial. Its delicate build and open spacing suggest a gentle, composed voice suited to sophisticated, restrained design.
The design appears intended as a restrained, readable slab-leaning serif that balances crisp, squared serifs with an elegant, lightly drawn structure. Its tall proportions and small lowercase suggest an emphasis on a traditional, literary feel rather than maximum compactness or punch.
The numerals share the same slim, old-style sensibility, with rounded forms and light, poised terminals. In the sample text, the long extenders and small lowercase contribute to a distinctive, slightly vintage color that benefits from comfortable line spacing.
