A delicate text serif with bracketed serifs, tapered terminals, and a measured rhythm that stays even across upper- and lowercase. Strokes show clear thick–thin modulation without feeling sharp or high-strung, and curves are smoothly drawn with restrained detailing. Capitals are stately and open, while the lowercase keeps a balanced, readable structure with conventional proportions and clear counters. Numerals are lining and elegant, matching the same light, consistent color and finishing with subtle ball/teardrop-like terminals in a few forms.
Well-suited to book typography and editorial layouts where a light, refined serif is needed for body text, pull quotes, and headings. It also fits formal documents, reports, and cultural or academic materials that benefit from a traditional, print-oriented texture.
The overall tone is classical and cultivated, evoking printed literature, editorial pages, and institutional communications. It feels reserved and trustworthy rather than playful, with a quiet refinement that suits long-form reading and careful typography.
The design appears intended as a conventional, readable serif for continuous text, prioritizing clarity and a polished page color while retaining classic proportions and carefully moderated contrast for a composed, editorial look.
In the text sample, spacing and word shapes read cleanly at display-to-text sizes, with a calm texture and minimal eccentricity. Details like the swashless, conventional forms and gently shaped serifs contribute to a familiar, traditional voice.
