A very slender serif with hairline strokes and gently bracketed serifs that stay crisp and understated. The letterforms are built from smooth, near-monoline construction with subtle modulation, giving curves a calm, even rhythm. Proportions feel moderately tall with open bowls and generous apertures, while spacing reads comfortable and unforced in text. Details such as the long, fine extenders, narrow joins, and small, neat terminals contribute to a clean, elegant texture rather than a strongly engraved one.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, book interiors, essays, and cultural content where a light, polished serif texture is desired. It can also serve refined branding, packaging, and invitations when set at comfortable sizes with ample leading, and it works nicely for pull quotes and headings that benefit from an elegant, quiet presence.
The overall tone is refined and quiet, with a poised, literary character that feels formal without becoming heavy or ornate. Its delicacy lends an elevated, editorial mood suited to sophisticated, minimal layouts where the typography is meant to feel precise and tasteful.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, minimal interpretation of a traditional text serif: light, open, and carefully finished, prioritizing a smooth reading rhythm and a cultured, understated voice.
Uppercase forms appear especially airy, with thin horizontals and lightly supported serifs; round letters keep broad, smooth curves that emphasize openness. The lowercase shows a calm, readable cadence, with simple, lightly tapered finishes and a restrained sense of personality that stays consistent across letters and figures.
