A delicate, text-oriented serif with bracketed serifs, tapered terminals, and a gently modulated stroke that suggests subtle calligraphic stress. Proportions are balanced and conventional, with open counters and a calm rhythm that stays even across lines of text. The lowercase shows a readable, moderately sized x-height with relatively long ascenders and descenders; details like the two-storey “g” and the slender, lightly curved “f” reinforce a traditional book-face feel. Numerals appear oldstyle, with varied heights and smooth curves that blend naturally with running text.
Well suited to book typography, editorial layouts, and magazine text where a refined serif texture is desired. It can also serve nicely for literary or institutional titles and pull quotes, especially at larger sizes where the delicate serifs and modulated strokes read as intentional detail.
The overall tone is quietly elegant and literary, projecting a composed, classical voice rather than a flashy or loud one. Its fine detailing and measured contrast give it an editorial, cultured character suited to long-form reading.
Designed to deliver a traditional reading experience with a light, polished texture and familiar serif forms, aiming for comfort and credibility in continuous text. The inclusion of oldstyle-style figures supports an intention toward classic, text-first composition.
Diagonal and curved letters (like V, W, and O) remain crisp without looking brittle, while round forms keep a soft, slightly organic curvature. The italics are not shown; the sample focuses on an even roman texture with careful spacing and restrained detailing.
