A delicate serif text face with crisp, tapered serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation. The letterforms are drawn with a steady, upright axis and a restrained, classical skeleton, combining sharp terminals with gently bracketed joins. Curves are round and controlled, counters stay relatively open, and the overall texture reads smooth and even in continuous text. Lowercase shapes lean toward an oldstyle sensibility, with a two-storey “g” and a modestly angled “e” crossbar, while capitals keep a clean, bookish proportion.
Well-suited to book typography, long-form reading, and editorial layouts where a refined serif texture is desired. It also fits titles, pull quotes, and formal collateral such as programs or invitations, especially when set with generous leading to let the fine serifs and contrast breathe.
The font conveys a poised, editorial tone—quietly formal rather than decorative. Its fine detailing and measured rhythm suggest tradition and care, giving text a cultured, literary voice suited to premium print and polished digital typography.
Likely designed to provide a contemporary, highly finished take on a conventional text serif: maintaining familiar proportions and readability while emphasizing slender, precise detailing and a graceful, high-contrast finish for an elevated page color.
In the sample paragraph, the spacing and rhythm produce a consistent gray value, with slender strokes and pointed details that add sparkle at larger sizes. Numerals appear lining and proportioned to sit comfortably alongside capitals, supporting tidy setting for dates and short figures.
