A delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and fine, hairline terminals. Serifs are small and bracketed, with tapered joins that keep the texture light and open. The capitals feel restrained and classical, while the lowercase shows a compact x-height with relatively long ascenders and descenders, creating a vertical, bookish rhythm. Curves are clean and controlled, and numerals and round letters maintain a graceful, slightly calligraphic stress without appearing italicized.
Well suited to book typography, editorial layouts, and long-form reading where a classic serif voice is desired. It also works effectively for refined invitations, programs, and premium branding when set with ample size and generous spacing to preserve the thin details.
The overall tone is refined and traditional, with an understated elegance suited to formal or literary settings. Its airy strokes and crisp contrast convey sophistication and a calm, composed voice rather than a loud or utilitarian one.
The design appears intended to deliver a timeless, conventional text-serif experience with a light, high-contrast finish. It balances classical proportions and bracketed serifs with a clean, contemporary restraint, aiming for elegance and readability in sophisticated typography.
At larger sizes the fine detailing reads as crisp and polished, while at smaller sizes the very thin hairlines may become visually fragile depending on output conditions. The sample text shows a smooth, even color for a high-contrast serif, with punctuation and ampersand matching the same delicate, classical demeanor.
