A delicate serif typeface with pronounced thick–thin modulation and fine, tapering hairlines. Serifs are small and mostly bracketed, giving joins a smooth, drawn quality rather than a mechanical cut. The lowercase shows gently calligraphic movement with a single-storey “g” and a slightly angled, slender “e” crossbar, while the capitals are crisp and formal with wide, open bowls and clear interior space. Spacing reads even and text color stays light, with rounded counters and subtle stroke flaring that keeps the rhythm lively without becoming ornate.
Well-suited to book and long-form editorial typography where a refined serif voice is desired, particularly in comfortable reading sizes. It also works effectively for literary titling, pull quotes, and cultured branding applications where a light, elegant texture is an asset.
The overall tone is poised and literary, balancing classic tradition with a light, graceful touch. It conveys sophistication and restraint, with an airy page color that feels premium and editorial rather than utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional text serif with a distinctly refined, high-contrast voice—prioritizing elegance, classical proportions, and a graceful reading rhythm over sturdiness or overt display eccentricity.
In continuous text the high contrast and fine terminals create a sparkling texture, especially at larger sizes. Numerals appear oldstyle (with ascenders/descenders), reinforcing a bookish, traditional feel and pairing naturally with running text.
