This typeface is a delicate text serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and an overall tall, slim silhouette. Strokes show a vertical, calligraphic stress, with thin hairlines and crisp, tapered serifs that read as lightly bracketed rather than blocky. Curves are smooth and controlled, counters are relatively open, and the rhythm feels measured, with narrow letterforms and generous internal whitespace. The lowercase uses a traditional two-storey a and g, with fine terminals and a restrained, bookish texture in continuous text.
It performs well in long-form reading contexts where a refined serif texture is desired, such as books, essays, and magazine typography. It also suits display settings that benefit from elegance and restraint—chapter openers, pull quotes, and formal printed materials like invitations or programs—provided sizes and reproduction preserve the fine details.
The overall tone is refined and literary, projecting an editorial, classical sensibility rather than a casual or utilitarian one. Its airy lightness and sharp details give it a poised, formal presence suited to polished typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a classical reading experience with a distinctly elegant, high-contrast voice, emphasizing graceful proportions, crisp detailing, and a composed text rhythm.
In the sample text, the hairline details and tight proportions create a bright page color and a slightly sparkling texture, especially in mixed-case lines. The figures appear oldstyle-like in feel, with varying heights and graceful curves that blend smoothly with the lowercase.
