A delicate serif with bracketed, tapered terminals and a calm, bookish rhythm. Strokes are fine and clean, with subtly modulated curves that suggest calligraphic stress without feeling ornate. Capitals are wide and stately with generous counters, while lowercase forms stay open and readable, featuring a two-storey a and g, a modestly flowing italic-like entry on some joins, and lightly flared serifs that keep the texture even. Numerals are similarly light and elegant, leaning toward lining proportions with ample white space.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a light, refined serif texture is desired. It also fits chapter titles, pull quotes, and elegant printed materials such as programs or invitations, especially when paired with generous leading and margins.
The overall tone is classical and cultivated, communicating restraint rather than display. Its lightness and smooth curves give it an airy, editorial feel that reads as polite, traditional, and quietly premium.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif focused on grace and readability, offering a traditional silhouette with a lighter, more polished finish for contemporary editorial use.
Spacing appears comfortable in text, producing a soft gray value rather than a dense color. Curves on letters like C, G, and S are smooth and controlled, and diagonals (V, W, X, Y) finish with sharp, refined terminals that reinforce the crisp, engraved-like impression.
