A delicate serif with slim stems, modest thick–thin modulation, and crisp, bracketed serifs. The capitals are stately and open, with smooth curves on C/G/O and a restrained, straight-sided construction on E/F/H. Lowercase forms read cleanly with a two-storey a and g, a narrow, slightly angled stress in rounded letters, and compact joins that keep texture even in paragraph settings. Numerals are elegant and lightly drawn, matching the overall airy color and fine detailing.
Well-suited to long-form editorial typography—books, essays, magazine features—and refined brand systems that want a traditional serif voice. It can also work for invitations, programs, and other formal printed pieces where an airy, elegant texture is desirable.
The face conveys a classic, cultivated tone—quietly formal rather than decorative. Its light touch and tidy finishing give it an editorial, literary feel suited to thoughtful, high-clarity typography.
The design appears intended as a conventional reading serif with a polished, contemporary finish: traditional proportions and familiar letterforms paired with lighter weight and crisp serif detailing to create an elegant, unobtrusive text presence.
In text, the rhythm stays consistent with clear counters and measured spacing, producing a smooth reading line at larger sizes. The thin serifs and light hairlines suggest it benefits from sufficient size or print resolution to maintain clarity.
