This is a delicate serif with hairline detailing and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Serifs are fine and lightly bracketed, with tapered terminals and a crisp, calligraphic stroke logic that reads clearly in both capitals and lowercase. Proportions are open and calm, with generous counters and a measured rhythm; round letters stay smooth and near-circular while vertical stems remain clean and straight. The lowercase shows traditional, text-oriented construction (notably a two-storey “g” and a compact, readable “e”), and the numerals follow an oldstyle-like pattern with varied heights and refined curves.
It performs best in editorial typography such as magazines, essays, and book interiors where a refined serif tone is desired. The capitals and numerals also suit tasteful headings, pull quotes, and formal stationery, especially when set with enough size and spacing to keep the hairlines from visually fading.
The overall tone is cultured and understated, leaning toward editorial sophistication rather than display showmanship. Its light touch and sharp contrast give it a poised, formal voice suited to classic, literary settings. The texture feels airy and premium, suggesting careful craftsmanship and a slightly historical sensibility.
The design appears intended as a conventional reading serif with an elevated, contemporary finish: classic letterforms, restrained detailing, and a premium, high-contrast texture. It prioritizes elegance and typographic color over robustness, aiming for a polished voice in literary and editorial layouts.
In the paragraph sample, the thin hairlines and sharp joins create a bright page color, while the high contrast emphasizes vertical rhythm. Because the lightest strokes are very fine, the font benefits from adequate size and comfortable leading to preserve clarity in continuous reading.
