A delicate oldstyle serif with slender stems, fine bracketed serifs, and gently modulated stroke weight. The capitals are narrow and tall with crisp terminals and smooth curves, while the lowercase shows a traditional rhythm with two-storey a and g, a compact, slightly angled ear on g, and a narrow e with a small eye. Extenders are relatively long, contributing to an airy texture in text, and spacing feels measured rather than loose, keeping lines composed and even.
Well suited to extended reading in books and editorial layouts where a light, refined serif is desired. It can also serve for chapter heads, pull quotes, and premium brand collateral where a classical tone and delicate detail read as intentional and upscale.
The overall tone is poised and cultivated, leaning toward bookish elegance rather than display theatrics. Its light color and restrained details convey formality and quiet sophistication, suitable for classic editorial voices.
The design appears intended as a conventional, readable text serif with a light, elegant color and classical proportions. Its aim seems to be a cultured, traditional voice that stays quiet on the page while maintaining a polished typographic presence.
Numerals appear lining-style and similarly light, with a graceful 2 and a neatly balanced 8; the 1 is very simple and vertical. The Q has a flowing tail that adds a subtle calligraphic accent without breaking the otherwise restrained construction.
