A delicate serif with hairline strokes and lightly bracketed serifs, showing a calm, even rhythm across both capitals and lowercase. Proportions lean toward tall, high-waisted forms with generous counters and a restrained, slightly calligraphic modulation, especially visible in curved letters like C, G, O, and S. The lowercase keeps a modest, readable x-height with slim ascenders and descenders, while figures and capitals feel similarly slender and poised, producing a distinctly light color on the page.
Well-suited to editorial typography where an elegant, lightweight texture is desired, such as magazine features, book interiors, and refined long-form layouts at comfortable sizes. It can also serve upscale applications like invitations, packaging, and brand wordmarks where delicacy and poise are priorities, preferably with adequate size and contrast to support the fine strokes.
The overall tone is polished and literary, with a quiet sense of luxury created by its thin strokes and measured spacing. It reads as formal and composed rather than assertive, lending a classic, editorial mood to text.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classical text serif: slender, refined, and highly controlled, with enough modulation to feel crafted while maintaining a consistent, conventional reading rhythm.
Curves are drawn with crisp terminals and careful tapering, and the italic is not shown, reinforcing a straightforward, stately presentation. The numerals echo the same fine, airy construction, making them visually consistent with running text.
