A delicate serif with fine hairline terminals and a noticeably light overall color. Strokes are generally slender with subtle contrast, and the serifs are sharp and minimally bracketed, giving a crisp, engraved-like finish. Proportions lean slightly tall and open, with generous counters and smooth curves; round forms (O, o, 8) read clean and even. The lowercase shows a traditional structure with a two-storey g, a gently curved italic-free rhythm, and slender ascenders/descenders that add vertical grace without feeling condensed.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, book typography, and magazine features where a refined serif texture is desired. It also fits premium branding and printed pieces like invitations or programs, especially when set at comfortable sizes with ample leading to preserve its fine detail.
The tone is refined and airy, projecting a quiet formality associated with literary and editorial typography. Its lightness and fine details suggest sophistication and restraint rather than robustness, lending a cultured, boutique feel to headings and carefully set text.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, conventional serif voice with an intentionally light, elegant presence. It prioritizes graceful proportions and crisp serif finishing to create a polished typographic color for cultured, text-forward applications.
In the sample text, spacing and stroke delicacy produce a bright page and an elegant texture, but the thinnest parts and sharp serifs imply it will look best when given adequate size and reproduction quality. Numerals are similarly light and open, matching the text’s understated character.
