A delicate serif with bracketed, gently tapered serifs and a restrained, even rhythm. Strokes are slim and clean with modest contrast, producing a crisp outline without feeling brittle. Uppercase forms are spacious and softly proportioned, while lowercase shows open counters and clear joins, giving the text a light, breathable texture. Numerals follow the same refined construction, with smooth curves and subtle terminals that keep the overall color consistent in running text.
This face suits editorial layouts, book interiors, and other long-form reading where a light, refined texture is desired. It also performs well for cultured headings, pull quotes, and invitation-style typography that benefits from an elegant serif voice without heavy stroke weight.
The tone is polished and literary, suggesting traditional book typography with a modern, pared-back lightness. It feels calm and cultured rather than emphatic, projecting sophistication through restraint and careful detailing.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on conventional serif typography: familiar proportions, readable lowercase, and discreet serif work, tuned to create an airy page color. It aims for versatility across text and display sizes while keeping a graceful, understated character.
Curves are drawn with a smooth, controlled hand and terminals tend to finish with understated flaring rather than sharp, pointed endings. The spacing and letterfit read as comfortable and measured, supporting continuous reading while retaining an elegant, display-capable presence at larger sizes.
