A delicate text serif with thin, tapered strokes and fine bracketed serifs that stay crisp rather than blocky. The design shows moderate stroke modulation and a calm, upright axis, with rounded bowls that remain open and lightly drawn. Capitals feel stately and widely spaced, while the lowercase keeps a readable, traditional rhythm with gently flared terminals and slender stems. Numerals are similarly light and classical in proportion, matching the restrained contrast and overall even color.
Well suited to editorial typography such as magazines, essays, and book interiors where a classical serif texture is desired. It also fits refined printed materials—programs, invitations, and cultural branding—especially when set with generous leading and at sizes where its fine details remain clear.
The overall tone is refined and bookish, leaning toward an editorial, cultured feel rather than a loud display presence. Its lightness reads as airy and polished, suggesting formality and careful craftsmanship.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif reading experience with a lighter, more elegant voice, balancing classical proportions with subtle, expressive finishing. It prioritizes a graceful rhythm and a polished, high-end look over heaviness or overtly modern geometry.
Several forms include subtle, calligraphy-influenced details—such as softly curved joins and slightly expressive terminals—that add personality without breaking a conventional text-serf structure. The wide, circular forms (like O and o) emphasize openness and contribute to a graceful page texture at larger sizes.
