A delicate serif with slender stems, gently bracketed serifs, and crisp, tapered terminals. Curves are smooth and slightly elliptical, with a measured contrast that stays restrained rather than dramatic. Proportions are balanced and traditional: capitals feel stately and open, while the lowercase shows clear, readable forms with modest extenders and a calm, even rhythm. The numerals appear oldstyle (text figures), with varying heights and subtle ascenders/descenders that blend naturally into running text.
This face is well suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a quiet, traditional serif is desired. It also works nicely for pull quotes, subtitles, and other typographic moments that benefit from a refined, literary voice without heavy contrast.
The overall tone is classic and cultivated, evoking editorial typography and traditional book composition. Its light touch and restrained detailing read as refined and careful, suited to content that aims to feel considered rather than loud.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with an emphasis on comfortable reading and understated elegance. Its light construction, bracketed serifs, and oldstyle numerals suggest it was drawn to sit gracefully in continuous prose and classical page typography.
Spacing and counters read airy, helping the face stay legible despite the thin strokes. Several glyphs show gently calligraphic influence in the way strokes taper into serifs and terminals, giving the design a soft, human warmth without appearing informal.
