A very slender serif with crisp, hairline-like strokes and gently bracketed serifs. The letterforms show a traditional, bookish construction with smooth, controlled curves and a calm, even rhythm in text. Proportions lean slightly tall and graceful, with narrow joins and careful spacing that keeps counters open despite the light weight. Details such as the two-storey “g,” the curved “f,” and the elegant, looped “Q” emphasize a refined, transitional-leaning texture rather than a rigid or geometric feel.
Best suited to editorial layouts, book interiors, and literary or cultural material where a refined serif voice is desired. It can work well for pull quotes, captions, and elegant titling when ample size and comfortable leading preserve its delicate detailing.
The overall tone is poised and understated, conveying a quiet sophistication. Its light touch reads elegant and editorial, suggesting formality without feeling ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional text-seriffed reading experience with an elevated, lightweight elegance—prioritizing graceful proportions, classic forms, and a polished, contemporary finish over ruggedness or display eccentricity.
In the sample text, the thin horizontals and fine terminals create a luminous page color, while maintaining clear differentiation between similar shapes (e.g., I/l, O/0) through classic serif cues. Numerals appear lining and similarly delicate, matching the understated texture of the letters.
