A delicate serif with hairline strokes and gently bracketed serifs, showing an oldstyle-influenced construction. Curves are smooth and open, with a restrained contrast that reads as fine rather than dramatic, and terminals often finish in subtle, tapered hooks. Proportions feel slightly high-waisted with generous ascenders and descenders, and the lowercase maintains an even rhythm with rounded bowls and slim joins. Numerals are similarly light and graceful, with flowing curves and a consistent, airy color in text.
Well suited to editorial settings, book and magazine typography, and display roles where a refined serif voice is desired. It can also support upscale branding, invitations, and short-form print work that benefits from an airy, graceful texture.
The overall tone is elegant and quiet, with a literary, editorial sophistication. Its thin strokes and poised detailing suggest a premium, cultured voice—more intimate and refined than bold or utilitarian.
The design appears intended to evoke classic book serifs with a modern, minimalist lightness—prioritizing elegance, smooth rhythm, and subtle calligraphic character over robustness. It aims to deliver a cultivated, high-end impression in both titling and carefully set text.
Distinctive details include a looping, calligraphic feel in letters like the lowercase g and y, and an expressive Q with a sweeping tail. The light weight creates a bright page color and benefits from comfortable sizing and spacing where its fine serifs can remain clear.
