A delicate serif design with slender stems, fine bracketed serifs, and crisp terminals. Proportions feel vertically oriented, with compact letter widths and an airy internal rhythm created by thin strokes and open counters. Curves show a subtle vertical stress, and joins remain clean and controlled; overall spacing reads even, supporting continuous text. Numerals and capitals maintain the same restrained, elegant tone, with consistent stroke modulation and sharp, tidy serifs.
Well suited to editorial typography where a bright, elegant texture is desirable—magazine features, longform articles, and book interiors. It can also support refined titling for invitations, programs, or brand communications that aim for a classic, understated sophistication.
The font conveys a refined, bookish calm—polished and traditional without feeling overly ornamental. Its light touch and precise detailing suggest formality and care, lending an editorial, cultured tone to headlines and text.
The design appears intended as a conventional serif for reading environments, balancing traditional proportions with a light, precise construction that keeps text feeling open and elevated. Its restrained contrast and tidy serif treatment prioritize a clean rhythm and a composed, literary voice.
The lowercase shows a lively but disciplined texture: ascenders are prominent, bowls stay open, and terminals are generally sharp rather than rounded, keeping the page color bright. The italics are not shown; all samples appear in a straight, roman posture.
