This serif features bracketed, tapered serifs and a distinctly calligraphic modulation, with fine hairlines and gently swelling curves that keep the texture light and airy. Capitals are stately and proportioned with generous interior space, while the lowercase shows open, readable counters and a smooth, continuous rhythm. Details like the single-story “g,” the softly angled terminals, and the elegant, slightly elliptical “o” contribute to a polished page color. Numerals are lining and proportional, with classic shapes and delicate stroke endings that match the letterforms.
Well-suited to book interiors, long-form editorial, and magazine typography where a classic serif voice and a light, refined texture are desired. It can also serve premium branding and packaging, especially when paired with ample whitespace and moderate sizes that let the fine details remain clear.
The overall tone is refined and literary, evoking traditional book typography and editorial seriousness rather than overt display. Its light touch and controlled contrast feel calm and cultivated, lending an understated elegance to headings and extended reading settings alike.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, bookish serif with an elegant, contemporary finish—prioritizing readability, smooth rhythm, and graceful detailing over dramatic contrast or ornamental flourishes.
Stroke joins are smoothly bracketed and corners are softened, avoiding harsh geometry. Curves are broad and confident, and diagonals (as in V/W/X/Y) feel crisp without becoming sharp, helping maintain a consistent, composed rhythm across mixed-case text.
