This typeface is a very thin, upright serif with crisp, bracketed slab-like serifs and gently rounded terminals. Strokes are consistently light with little visible contrast, giving outlines a clean, linear feel rather than a calligraphic one. Proportions are balanced and slightly narrow in feel, with generous counters and clear interior space; the lowercase shows a moderate x-height with relatively long ascenders/descenders. Curves are smooth and controlled (notably in C, G, S, and the numerals), and the overall rhythm reads even and carefully constructed in both display and text settings.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, book or magazine typography, and brand identities that want a cultured, minimal serif voice. It can work nicely for headlines, pull quotes, and refined packaging or invitation work, especially where ample size and contrast against the background preserve its fine details.
The font conveys a quiet, refined elegance—classic and literary without feeling heavy or formal. Its hairline presence and softened serifs add a gentle, understated personality that feels modern in its restraint while still rooted in traditional book typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, lightweight serif with slab-like support and softened endings—combining clarity and structure with a more delicate, elegant tone. The consistent thin strokes and measured proportions suggest a focus on refined display and high-quality editorial presentation rather than rugged or highly contrasted text work.
The figures appear lining and delicate, matching the lightness of the letters; rounded bowls in 6/8/9 and a smooth, open 2 help maintain clarity. In the text sample, spacing feels open and orderly, with a slightly airy texture that favors larger sizes and careful use on light backgrounds.
