A delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast, slender stems, and sharp, hairline terminals. Serifs are fine and mostly bracketed, giving joins a subtly calligraphic feel without becoming cursive. Curves are smooth and round (notably in O/Q/C/G), while straight-sided forms like E/F/H keep a crisp, upright posture. Proportions feel balanced and traditional, with a moderate x-height, open counters, and slightly generous sidebearings that create an airy rhythm in text.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazine layouts, book interiors, and literary headings where an elegant texture is desired. It also works effectively for refined display applications—titles, pull quotes, invitations, and branding—especially when set with comfortable spacing and sufficient size to protect the fine hairlines.
The overall tone is elegant and composed, conveying a quiet formality suited to polished, high-end typography. Its lightness and contrast read as sophisticated and literary rather than utilitarian, with a graceful, cultured presence on the page.
The design appears intended as a modern, conventional text serif that prioritizes elegance and contrast, offering a refined reading texture and a polished look for contemporary editorial and display composition.
The design shows clear differentiation between similar shapes through contrast and terminals: the Q has a distinct, sweeping tail, and the numerals follow the same refined, high-contrast logic as the letters. At display sizes the hairlines look especially crisp, while at smaller sizes the thin strokes may require careful color and background choices to preserve clarity.
