A delicate serif with thin, sharply tapered strokes and subtle thick–thin modulation. Serifs are small and bracketed, giving joins a smooth, engraved feel rather than abrupt terminals. Uppercase proportions are classical and moderately narrow, while the lowercase shows oldstyle influence with a two-storey “g,” a gently slanted crossbar on “e,” and a long-descending “q.” Curves are round and open, counters are generous, and spacing reads even, producing a tidy, unforced rhythm in text.
Well suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a classic serif texture is desired. It also fits refined branding, programs, invitations, and display typography at moderate-to-large sizes where its thin details can remain clear.
The overall tone is restrained and literary, projecting a quietly traditional voice suited to cultured, editorial settings. Its fine hairlines and measured contrast lend a sense of elegance and seriousness without feeling ornamental.
This design appears intended as a conventional, readable serif with a refined, oldstyle-leaning character—prioritizing balanced rhythm, classical proportions, and elegant thin strokes for editorial and literary typography.
At larger sizes the crisp hairlines and compact serifs feel especially clean and precise, while the numerals appear similarly light and classic in proportion. The “J” descender and the long “Q” tail add a slightly calligraphic, old-world accent that reinforces the traditional texture.
