A delicate serif with fine hairlines and gently modulated strokes, giving it an airy, polished color on the page. Serifs are small and sharply finished, with a crisp, engraved feel rather than heavy bracketed forms. Round letters are clean and open, and the overall rhythm is steady and vertical, with long extenders and a comparatively prominent x-height that keeps lowercase text readable despite the light build. Numerals follow the same restrained, high-contrast logic, with slender forms and generous internal space.
Well-suited to editorial design such as books, magazines, and long-form articles where a refined serif voice is desired. It also works effectively for formal communications—programs, invitations, and certificates—and for branding applications that call for a classic, premium tone, particularly at display and subhead sizes.
The tone is elegant and literary, suggesting traditional publishing and cultured editorial settings. Its light touch and crisp terminals feel formal and composed, leaning toward sophistication over warmth.
The design appears intended as a conventional, publication-oriented serif that prioritizes elegance and clarity through a light stroke palette, crisp serif finishing, and balanced proportions for comfortable reading.
At larger sizes the fine details and sharp serif finishing read especially well, while in continuous text the design maintains an even, quiet texture. The sample paragraph shows good clarity in mixed-case reading, with a consistent baseline and measured spacing that supports long-form composition.
