A delicate text serif with slender stems, fine hairlines, and softly bracketed serifs that create a clean, classical rhythm. Capitals are tall and elegant with restrained detailing, while the lowercase shows traditional proportions and a relatively low x-height that emphasizes ascenders and descenders. Curves are smoothly drawn and the joins stay crisp, giving counters an open, airy feel despite the narrow set. Numerals follow the same refined model, with light, tapered strokes and consistent alignment with the text texture.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a refined serif texture is desired. It also works for magazine headlines, pull quotes, and premium brand materials that benefit from an elegant, classical voice—especially when paired with generous spacing and high-quality printing.
The overall tone feels editorial and cultivated—quietly luxurious rather than showy. Its thin, high-fidelity detailing suggests a measured, bookish sophistication suited to thoughtful reading and premium presentation.
The font appears designed to deliver a traditional, high-end text serif experience: understated contrast, precise serifs, and proportions that read as timeless and literary. Its narrow rhythm and low x-height aim to evoke classic book typography and formal print conventions.
The design favors clarity through simple, conventional constructions and controlled flare into the serifs, producing a steady horizontal flow in words. The texture in paragraphs remains even and calm, with a gentle vertical emphasis from the tall capitals and long extenders.
