A delicate text serif with very thin hairlines, gently bracketed serifs, and a calm, upright stance. Curves are smoothly tensioned with subtle modulation, giving bowls and arches a graceful, slightly calligraphic feel. Proportions are balanced and traditional, with open counters and a measured rhythm that stays even across both uppercase and lowercase. The numerals appear oldstyle with varying heights and extenders, matching the bookish color of the letters.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a classic serif texture is desired. It can also serve for refined titles, pull quotes, and formal stationery when a light, sophisticated voice is appropriate.
The overall tone is poised and literary, combining classic editorial polish with a light, airy presence. It reads as refined and quiet rather than assertive, lending a sense of tradition and formality without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended as a conventional, readable serif with heightened elegance, emphasizing fine stroke modulation, traditional proportions, and oldstyle numerals for an editorial, literary feel.
Distinctive details include a swash-like tail on the uppercase Q and a single-storey lowercase g with an elegant loop, reinforcing the humanist, book-face character. The thin joins and terminals create a crisp, refined texture that benefits from comfortable sizes and generous spacing.
