A delicate serif with very thin hairline strokes and small, sharply tapered serifs. Curves are smooth and generously rounded, while verticals remain steady and straight, creating a crisp, airy texture in text. The proportions feel traditional and balanced, with moderate ascenders/descenders and a calm rhythm; counters stay open and the overall color remains light and even. Numerals and capitals follow the same restrained, high-precision drawing, with subtle bracketed terminals and minimal flare.
Works well for editorial settings such as books, magazine features, and cultured brand communications where a light, elegant serif is desired. It can also suit invitations and formal stationery, especially when set with generous leading to preserve its airy texture and fine details.
The tone is refined and understated, leaning toward classic editorial elegance rather than display exuberance. Its light footprint and precise finishing suggest formality and care, with a quiet, literary atmosphere suited to sophisticated settings.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional, readable serif voice with a distinctly delicate finish—prioritizing sophistication, finesse, and a light typographic color in continuous text and headline settings.
In the sample text, the thin joins and narrow hairline details give punctuation and small features (like dots and apostrophes) a crisp presence while keeping the page color very light. The design relies on clean curves and consistent modulation rather than strong stroke contrast or heavy serifs, yielding a smooth, composed reading flow at comfortable sizes.
