A very light, upright serif with softened, slab-like serifs that read as gently rounded and subtly bracketed rather than sharp. Strokes are evenly weighted with low contrast, but many joins and terminals show a slight flare that adds a quiet calligraphic flavor. Proportions are well balanced with open counters and generous interior space; curves are smooth and controlled, and the overall rhythm stays even across capitals, lowercase, and numerals. Distinctive details include the swashed tail on Q, the softly hooked forms on letters like a and g, and lining figures with modest, rounded feet and tops.
Works well for book and editorial typography where a refined, lightweight serif is desired, especially in larger text sizes and pull quotes. It also suits restrained branding, menus, and invitations that benefit from a classic voice with rounded, friendly finishing strokes.
The tone is literary and composed—classic without feeling stiff, and airy rather than authoritative. The rounded slab serifs and delicate weight lend a polite, personable warmth that suits quiet sophistication over high drama.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif structure with softened slab cues and rounded terminals, creating an elegant, readable face with a subtle decorative edge. Its light texture suggests a focus on graceful page color and a calm, literary presence.
At text sizes the thin strokes create a light color on the page, with serifs providing structure while staying visually unobtrusive. The sample text shows consistent spacing and a steady baseline, supporting smooth reading while keeping a distinctive, slightly ornamental finish on key terminals.
