A delicate serif with fine, consistent strokes and softly bracketed slab-like serifs that read as gently rounded rather than sharply squared. Curves are open and smooth, with moderated joins and slightly tapered or softened terminals that keep the texture light and even. Proportions lean classical: capitals are tall and composed, while the lowercase is compact with a relatively small x-height, giving ascenders and descenders extra presence. The overall rhythm is calm and legible, with careful spacing that maintains an airy, uncluttered page color.
It suits long-form reading such as book interiors, essays, and magazine features where a light, elegant serif texture is desirable. It can also work well for refined headlines, pull quotes, invitations, and academic or cultural branding that benefits from a classic tone without harsh edges.
The font conveys a quiet, literary sophistication—polished and traditional, but with a softer, friendlier edge than a strict text face. Its lightness and rounded details give it a poised, gentle voice that feels appropriate for editorial and cultural contexts rather than loud display work.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif reading experience in a very light, graceful voice, balancing slab-like sturdiness with rounded, softened finishing. Its compact lowercase and carefully moderated serifs suggest a focus on calm editorial rhythm and a cultivated, traditional character.
Distinctive details include a looping, calligraphic-like tail on the Q, a two-storey g, and oldstyle-leaning numerals with a notably open, graceful 2 and a curled 9. The lowercase forms keep counters generous, and the serifs stay consistent across caps and text, supporting a cohesive, understated texture in paragraphs.
