A light, high-contrast serif with compact, bracketed slab-like serifs and gently rounded terminals. Strokes are generally slender, with noticeable modulation between thin joins and slightly heavier verticals, giving a crisp printed rhythm. Proportions are fairly narrow with tall ascenders and modest extenders, and counters remain open and clean for legibility. The lowercase shows a single-story “g” and a two-story “a,” while the numerals are straightforward and evenly spaced, keeping an understated, text-forward texture.
Well suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and magazine articles where a light, refined texture is desired. It also works for understated branding, captions, and pull quotes when a classic serif voice is needed without heavy weight or ornament.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, with a restrained, literary feel that reads as quietly confident rather than decorative. Rounded details soften the formality, adding a touch of warmth while maintaining an editorial, academic voice.
This design appears intended to provide a gentle, contemporary take on classic serif typography: light in color, comfortable in continuous reading, and visually softened through rounded details while preserving clear, traditional letter structure.
In text, the font maintains a light color and steady baseline behavior, with clear differentiation between similar forms (for example, “I,” “l,” and “1” are distinct). Serifs are consistent and not overly pronounced, so the face stays readable at smaller sizes while still showing a recognizable serif character.
