A delicate, text-oriented serif with tall proportions, narrow set width, and a lively rhythm from subtly varied character widths. Strokes are fine and clean with modest thick–thin modulation, finishing in sharp, hairline serifs and tapered terminals. Counters are compact yet open enough to read at size, and the overall texture stays even and quiet in paragraph-like lines. Figures follow the same slender build, with simple, traditional forms and light curves.
It suits editorial settings where a refined, traditional voice is needed—magazine typography, book interiors, and literary or cultural headlines. The narrow proportions help fit longer titles or dense layouts, while the crisp serifs provide a classic feel for invitations, programs, and other formal print applications.
The font reads as composed and classical, with an editorial, bookish sensibility. Its slender build and crisp detailing convey formality and restraint rather than warmth, giving it a polished, cultured tone suited to elegant typography.
The design appears intended as a conventional serif for reading and formal composition, prioritizing elegance, economy of space, and a disciplined, traditional typographic color over display flamboyance.
Capitals are notably tall and stately, giving headlines a vertical emphasis. Round letters (like C/O) appear slightly condensed with careful curvature, while joins and arcs remain smooth and unembellished, keeping the design conservative and controlled.
