A delicate serif with fine hairlines, gently bracketed serifs, and a calm, upright stance. Strokes show noticeable but restrained contrast, with rounded joins and smooth curves that keep counters open despite the light weight. Proportions lean wide and generously spaced, giving capitals a stately presence and lowercase a roomy, readable rhythm. Details such as the two-storey “g,” the small ear on “g,” and the softly cupped terminals on letters like “c,” “e,” and “s” reinforce a traditional text-seriffed construction.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as books, long-form reading, and magazine layouts where a light, elegant texture is desired. It can also serve refined branding, packaging, and invitations, especially at sizes that preserve its hairline details.
The overall tone is refined and literary, with an airy, cultured feel. Its lightness and generous width read as formal rather than utilitarian, suggesting editorial polish and a quietly classic sensibility.
The design appears aimed at delivering a classical reading experience with a lighter, more spacious color than typical text serifs. By combining traditional serif forms with wide proportions and carefully moderated contrast, it targets polished, high-end typography for both display lines and comfortable text.
In paragraph setting the wide set and thin horizontals create a bright page color and a measured cadence. Numerals and punctuation follow the same restrained contrast and serif treatment, supporting consistent texture across mixed text.
