A delicate serif with crisp, hairline-like terminals and gently bracketed serifs that read cleanly at text sizes. Stroke modulation is moderate, with thin horizontals and slightly stronger verticals, and curves that stay smooth and controlled. Proportions are compact and tidy, with relatively narrow letterforms, open counters, and a steady rhythm that keeps lines looking even. The lowercase shows traditional text-serif detailing—two-storey forms and small, precise joins—while the numerals follow the same restrained, refined construction.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books, journals, and editorial layouts where a refined serif texture is desired. It can also support elegant branding, packaging, and formal stationery where a quiet, classic voice and crisp detail are beneficial.
The overall tone is polished and literary, suggesting classic publishing and formal communication. It feels calm and well-mannered rather than expressive, with an understated elegance suited to content-forward typography.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with a refined, contemporary cleanliness—prioritizing smooth reading rhythm, consistent spacing, and restrained elegance across upper- and lowercase and figures.
Spacing appears measured and consistent, and the punctuation and figures match the light, sharp finishing of the letters. The capitals are stately without feeling overly ornamental, supporting a composed hierarchy in mixed-case settings.
