A delicate serif with hairline strokes and gently bracketed serifs. The forms favor smooth, rounded bowls and open apertures, with a calm, even rhythm and clear baseline discipline. Capitals are stately and relatively narrow in feel, while the lowercase shows long, slender ascenders and a lightly built, calligraphic-influenced modulation. Numerals and punctuation match the light color, with rounded figures and fine terminals that keep the overall texture pale and refined.
Best suited to editorial settings where elegance and whitespace are part of the design—magazines, book titles, pull quotes, and refined branding. It can also work for invitations and cultural materials where a light, classical serif texture is desired, particularly at larger sizes or with generous leading.
The tone is polished and literary, evoking editorial refinement rather than loud display. Its light color and graceful curves feel poised and formal, with a subtle classicism suited to premium or cultural contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional text-serif structure with a distinctly light, high-end voice—balancing classical proportions with a modern, airy color for sophisticated composition.
Curves dominate the design language, especially in the C/G/S and the round lowercase bowls, which read soft and continuous at text sizes. The contrast is restrained but noticeable in the way joins and terminals taper, giving the face a precise, crafted look without appearing rigid.
