A delicate text serif with hairline-leaning strokes, crisp bracketed serifs, and a calm, measured rhythm. Curves are clean and open, with oval bowls and restrained modulation that reads as refined rather than calligraphic. Details include small ball terminals and teardrop-like joins on several lowercase forms, plus a tall, lightly drawn numerals set that maintains the same airy color. Spacing appears generous, giving the face a light, lucid texture in paragraphs.
Well-suited for editorial layouts, book interiors, and magazine typography where a bright, elegant page color is desired. It can also complement fashion branding, cultural programs, and invitation-style materials, especially at comfortable text sizes with sufficient contrast and line spacing.
The overall tone is polished and cultured, with an understated sophistication that feels suited to editorial and literary settings. Its thin strokes and fine terminals give it a quiet, premium presence, more graceful than assertive.
Likely designed to provide a graceful, modernized take on a conventional text serif—prioritizing elegance, openness, and refined detail for high-end reading and brand applications.
The design leans on classic serif construction while incorporating subtle display-like refinements (notably in terminals and the shaping of curves), making it feel contemporary despite its traditional skeleton. The very light weight benefits from ample white space and careful typesetting to preserve clarity.
