A delicate text serif with thin hairlines, gently bracketed serifs, and a calm, even rhythm across words. Curves are generous and open, with smooth joins and subtle modulation that keeps stems crisp while bowls stay round and slightly expansive. The lowercase shows a traditional, readable construction with a two-storey “g” and “a”, modest extenders, and rounded terminals that soften the overall texture. Numerals follow the same light, bookish tone, with balanced proportions and restrained detailing.
Well-suited to book interiors, long-form editorial settings, and magazine typography where a light, elegant serif is desired. It can also serve for invitations and formal stationery, particularly at sizes where its fine detailing and open counters have room to breathe.
The overall tone is elegant and understated, projecting a literary, editorial voice rather than a loud display presence. Its light color and smooth, classical detailing feel cultured and polite, suited to refined messaging and careful typography.
Designed to deliver a conventional, literary reading experience with a lighter, more airy color, prioritizing elegance and smooth text flow over heaviness or strong display impact.
Spacing appears comfortable and contributes to an open, breathable page color, especially in longer text. The ampersand and the sweeping tail on the capital “Q” add a slightly calligraphic accent, while the rest of the set remains conservative and consistent.
