A delicate text serif with bracketed serifs, tapered terminals, and softly modeled strokes that suggest broad‑nib influence. The capitals are elegant and slightly wide with generous interior space, while the lowercase shows a relatively small x-height and long ascenders/descenders that create an airy vertical rhythm. Curves are smooth and controlled; joins and shoulders are gently rounded rather than mechanical. Numerals are slender and lightly drawn, matching the quiet, even color of the letters in continuous text.
Well-suited to long-form reading such as book interiors, essays, and magazine features where a refined serif texture is desired. It also works for titles, pull quotes, and formal printed pieces—programs, invitations, and certificates—especially when paired with generous leading to complement the short x-height.
The overall tone is polished and literary, conveying traditional bookish authority without feeling heavy or ornate. Its restrained contrast and fine detailing read as calm, cultured, and quietly formal—appropriate for contexts that benefit from a classic, editorial voice.
The design appears intended as a conventional reading serif with a classic, slightly oldstyle character—prioritizing elegance, smooth rhythm, and a light textual color for editorial and book typography.
Serifs remain crisp at display sizes yet stay understated in paragraphs, helping maintain a consistent texture. The design favors grace and openness over compactness, with ample sidebearings and a relaxed pace that supports comfortable reading when given enough line spacing.
