This serif shows slender, carefully modulated strokes with sharp, bracketed serifs and a clean, disciplined rhythm. Capitals are tall and airy with generous interior space, while curves (C, G, O, Q) are smooth and evenly tensioned. Lowercase forms stay traditional and readable, with a two-storey “g,” a compact “e,” and restrained terminals that keep the texture calm rather than calligraphic. Numerals follow the same restrained, bookish model, with open forms and fine detailing that favors elegance over heft.
Well suited to book and long-form editorial typography where a bright, elegant texture is desirable, and it can also perform effectively in magazine layouts, pull quotes, and refined marketing materials. The tall, clean capitals make it a strong option for headings, titling, and formal invitations when used at comfortable sizes.
The overall tone feels classic and editorial, with a refined, somewhat formal demeanor suited to literary and cultural contexts. Its lightness and crisp finishing convey sophistication and a quiet authority rather than warmth or exuberance.
The design reads as a contemporary interpretation of a conventional book serif: prioritizing refined proportions, crisp serifs, and a composed reading rhythm to deliver an elegant, high-end text voice.
Spacing appears intentionally open, producing a bright page color in the text sample. The letterforms emphasize clarity and polish, with minimal ornamentation and consistent serif treatment across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
