A delicate serif with slim hairlines, gently bracketed serifs, and a calm, even rhythm across text. Curves are smooth and open, with restrained modulation that keeps strokes crisp without becoming sharp. Capitals feel slightly wide and stately, while the lowercase shows a traditional, readable structure with a two-storey “g,” a looped descender on “y,” and a modest, text-friendly x-height. Numerals are light and graceful, with oldstyle-like movement in their curves and terminals that echo the letterforms.
Well suited to long-form editorial typography such as books, essays, and magazine features where a light, polished voice is desired. It can also serve effectively for refined titles, pull quotes, and formal printed materials that benefit from a graceful serif presence.
The overall tone is refined and literary, leaning toward bookish elegance rather than display drama. Its lightness and controlled detailing suggest a quiet sophistication—formal enough for editorial settings, but not stiff or overly ornate.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif that prioritizes readability and a cultured tone, combining traditional proportions with a lighter, more airy color for an elegant page texture.
In paragraph setting the font maintains a consistent texture with clear counters and tidy joins, helping it stay composed at larger reading sizes. The serif treatment feels subtly flared and tapered, giving lines a slightly calligraphic finish without obvious flourish.
