A delicate oldstyle serif with thin, crisp strokes and gently bracketed serifs. The letterforms show a classic, calligraphic construction: rounded bowls with subtle modulation, tapered terminals, and soft transitions into serifs. Proportions feel balanced and text-oriented, with open counters and a calm rhythm that keeps the page light. Uppercase forms are stately and restrained, while the lowercase shows traditional details such as a two-storey a and g, a gently curved ear on g, and a slightly calligraphic flow through joins and curves. Numerals follow the same refined, bookish tone, with slender shapes and understated curves.
Well suited to editorial and book typography where a light, refined serif can provide an elegant reading texture. It also fits magazine features, headings with a classic tone, and tasteful branding applications that benefit from a traditional, premium voice. For best results, use at sizes and in contexts that can maintain its fine hairline details.
The overall tone is understated and cultured—more literary than loud. Its lightness reads as refined and editorial, suggesting classical printing traditions, careful typesetting, and a premium, airy page color when set at comfortable text sizes.
The design appears intended to deliver a classical, text-centric serif voice with an intentionally light color and polished detail. It prioritizes an elegant reading rhythm and traditional letterform cues, aiming for sophistication in both running text and display settings.
Curves and diagonals are handled with smooth, consistent modulation, giving rounds (C, O, Q, e) a graceful presence. Spacing appears even in the sample text, supporting long-form readability, while the high finesse of the thin strokes suggests it will look best where printing or rendering can preserve fine details.
