This serif text face is drawn with slender stems and fine, sharply finished serifs that read as delicate at display sizes. Curves show a controlled, slightly calligraphic modulation, with verticals feeling firmer than horizontals and a consistent, tidy rhythm across the alphabet. Proportions are compact and tall, with long ascenders and descenders and a small lowercase presence relative to the capitals, producing an airy line color. Numerals appear lining and similarly narrow, maintaining the same restrained, crisp detailing.
Well suited to editorial settings such as book interiors, magazines, and long-form quotations where a refined, traditional serif voice is desired. It can also work for invitations and understated branding, particularly when set with generous spacing and comfortable line height to protect the delicate details.
The overall tone is poised and literary, with a cultured, old‑world restraint that feels at home in traditional publishing. Its thin, precise detailing gives it a quiet elegance rather than a bold or playful voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, readable serif structure with an elevated, elegant texture through narrow proportions and fine serif workmanship. It prioritizes a composed typographic color and classical sensibility over heavy impact.
Round letters keep a narrow oval shape and maintain clean joins, while terminals and beaks remain understated and sharp. The italic is not shown; the roman form carries most of the personality through its slim proportions and fine serif finishing.
