A delicate serif with fine, consistent strokes and restrained bracketed serifs. The letterforms favor open bowls and generous interior counters, producing a light, breathable rhythm in text. Capitals are proportioned with classical Roman sensibilities—sharp apexes, clean horizontals, and smooth curves—while the lowercase shows a double-storey “g” and “a” with compact ears and neatly finished terminals. Numerals are slender and readable, with simple, lightly tapered forms and clear differentiation between shapes.
Well-suited for editorial typography where a light, polished serif texture is desired—magazine features, essays, and book interiors with ample leading. It can also serve effectively for refined brand materials, captions, pull quotes, and formal stationery when set at comfortable sizes and with appropriate spacing.
The overall tone is refined and understated, projecting a quiet, literary elegance rather than overt display. Its thin presence and measured detailing feel formal and cultured, suitable for content that aims to read as careful, edited, and timeless.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with a graceful, modern lightness: familiar proportions, conservative detailing, and a focus on an even reading rhythm. It emphasizes elegance and clarity through fine strokes, open counters, and restrained serif shaping.
In the sample text, spacing and shapes maintain an even texture, with curves (C, G, O, Q) drawn smoothly and joins kept tidy. The serif treatment stays consistent across cases, giving the face a cohesive, composed look that prioritizes clarity over ornament.
