A slender serif with softly modulated strokes and fine, tapered terminals. Serifs are small and understated, often bracketed, with a gently calligraphic feel rather than rigid geometry. Capitals are tall and narrow with crisp, slightly flared details (notably in forms like E, F, and T), while lowercase shows lively proportions and subtle entry/exit strokes. Counters are relatively open for the width, and curves (C, G, O, Q) have smooth, restrained rounding that keeps the rhythm even in text.
This design suits long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a light, classic serif texture is desired. It can also work well for refined display settings—chapter openings, pull quotes, literary titles, and formal stationery—where its narrow, elegant silhouette helps fit more characters without feeling condensed in spirit.
The overall tone is quiet and literary, suggesting traditional book typography with a refined, slightly idiosyncratic charm. It reads as elegant and composed rather than loud, with a light touch that feels suitable for cultured, editorial settings.
The font appears designed to evoke conventional, book-oriented serif typography with a lighter, more delicate color on the page. Its narrow proportions and tapered details suggest an emphasis on elegance and economy of space while maintaining traditional readability cues.
The digit set follows the same delicate, tapered logic as the letters, with narrow forms and clear differentiation. In the text sample, the spacing and vertical rhythm feel measured and consistent, supporting continuous reading while preserving a graceful, airy texture.
