A delicate text serif with bracketed serifs and softly tapered terminals. Strokes show moderate contrast with a generally even, quiet rhythm, and the light overall color keeps pages feeling open and unforced. Round forms are generously curved, with restrained flare where strokes meet serifs; counters stay clear and readable in continuous text. The lowercase includes a double-storey “g” and a gently cupped “t,” while figures appear lining with smooth, oldstyle-leaning curves and varied widths.
It fits long-form reading such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where a light, refined serif can maintain comfort and clarity. It also works well for formal stationery, invitations, and upscale branding that benefits from a traditional but not overly ornate voice.
The tone is classic and literary, projecting a measured elegance rather than bold display energy. Its lightness and refined finishing give it a cultured, editorial feel suited to calm, trustworthy communication.
The design appears intended as a conventional reading serif with a graceful, slightly oldstyle flavor—prioritizing smooth text flow, clear counters, and understated sophistication over loud contrast or geometric rigidity.
Capitals are dignified and slightly narrow in presence, with crisp horizontal serifs that don’t feel heavy. The italic is not shown; the upright design relies on subtle calligraphic modulation and careful serif shaping to create character without ornament.
