A delicate serif with thin, tapering strokes and a calm vertical stance. The serifs are fine and lightly bracketed, giving terminals a sharp yet cultivated finish without feeling brittle. Curves are smooth and generously rounded (notably in C, O, and Q), while joins and diagonals stay clean and restrained. Proportions feel balanced and bookish, with open counters, moderate spacing, and an even, steady rhythm that holds together well in continuous text.
Well suited to long-form reading in books, essays, and magazine layouts where a light, elegant texture is desired. It can also serve refined headlines, pull quotes, and formal stationery when set with ample size and breathing room to preserve its delicate detailing.
The overall tone is refined and literary, with an airy lightness that reads as formal but not ornate. It suggests classic publishing and editorial design—polished, quiet, and composed—more about clarity and taste than display drama.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif that prioritizes smooth reading color and classical proportions while keeping the stroke weight exceptionally light. Its fine serifs and controlled contrast aim to deliver a polished, high-end impression in editorial and literary contexts.
The italic is not shown; the samples indicate a roman only. Numerals appear lining with a traditional, slightly calligraphic construction and clear differentiation between forms, supporting mixed text-and-number settings.
