A delicate serif with slim hairlines, subtly bracketed serifs, and a measured transition between thick and thin strokes. The letterforms show generous bowls and open apertures, giving a clear internal rhythm despite the light construction. Curves are smoothly modeled and terminals feel clean and controlled, while spacing reads even and text color stays airy rather than dense. Numerals and capitals share the same restrained, high-clarity drawing, with a consistent, bookish cadence across the set.
Well-suited to editorial typography where a light, cultured serif is desired—book interiors, magazine features, essays, and pull quotes. It can also support premium branding and packaging that benefits from a restrained, classic tone, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the fine hairlines can remain crisp.
The overall tone is polished and quiet, leaning toward traditional sophistication rather than display theatrics. Its light touch and tidy detailing suggest a poised, editorial sensibility—formal without feeling heavy or overly ornate.
The font appears intended as a conventional text serif with an elevated, modern refinement: light stroke weight, controlled contrast, and open proportions aimed at producing an elegant reading texture and a polished typographic voice.
The design emphasizes clarity through open forms and careful stroke endings, which helps maintain legibility even as the weight stays slender. The italic is not shown; the samples suggest a single, steady upright voice with a distinctly refined texture.
