A delicate serif text face with finely tapered strokes and clearly bracketed serifs. The proportions feel spacious, with generous sidebearings and open counters that keep the rhythm light on the page. Serifs are crisp but not rigid, and many joins transition smoothly, giving forms an engraved, slightly calligraphic poise without becoming decorative. Lowercase shapes read cleanly, with a two-storey “g” and compact, controlled curves; capitals are stately and evenly drawn, with moderate horizontal stress visible in rounded letters and numerals.
Well suited to book interiors, long-form editorial, and magazine typography where a light, refined serif texture is desirable. It can also serve comfortably for academic or cultural print materials, pull quotes, and other reading-focused layouts that benefit from a classical tone.
The overall tone is cultured and composed, suggesting traditional book typography and editorial seriousness. Its light touch and ample whitespace create an elegant, unforced voice suited to text that should feel trustworthy and considered rather than loud.
Likely designed to provide a conventional, highly readable serif for continuous text, emphasizing elegance through restrained contrast, careful serif shaping, and spacious proportions. The intent appears to balance classic bookish character with clarity at typical text sizes.
The figures appear lining with distinct, readable silhouettes and modest ornamentation at terminals. In paragraph setting the texture stays airy, with clear word shapes and a measured, consistent cadence that favors longer-form reading.
