This serif typeface shows a delicate, high-waisted construction with slim stems, bracketed serifs, and gently tapered terminals. Curves are smooth and slightly calligraphic in feel, with moderated contrast that stays consistent across rounds and straights. Proportions are tightly set with narrow bowls and compact letter widths, while spacing appears even and controlled in text. The lowercase keeps clear differentiation between forms, with a two-storey “g” and slender ascenders/descenders that contribute to a tall, elegant rhythm.
It performs well in editorial contexts where a light, elegant serif is desired—magazines, essays, literary passages, and front matter. In larger sizes it can serve for refined headings, pull quotes, or invitations where a classic tone is important, while its narrow proportions help fit longer titles into limited space.
The overall tone is refined and literary, leaning toward classic book typography rather than overt display styling. Its light color and narrow build create an airy, poised impression that feels formal and composed. The shapes read as traditional and editorial, suited to content that aims for sophistication without heaviness.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with a slimmer, more economical footprint, balancing traditional serif details with a lighter overall color. Its narrow construction and careful serif treatment suggest an aim for elegance and readability in composed, print-like typography.
Capitals are stately and slightly condensed, with rounded letters kept narrow and vertical. Numerals follow the same restrained, delicate treatment and sit comfortably alongside the text with a consistent stroke economy.
