A delicate serif with thin, hairline-like strokes and subtly bracketed serifs. The letterforms show gently tapered terminals and a calligraphic, oldstyle rhythm, with rounded bowls and open counters that keep the texture airy. Curves are smooth and slightly organic, while straight stems remain crisp; the overall spacing feels generous, supporting an even, measured color in text.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books, essays, and magazine layouts where a light, elegant serif texture is desired. It also fits refined branding, stationery, and invitations, and works nicely for titles and pull quotes when paired with ample leading and comfortable sizes.
The tone is refined and quietly traditional, evoking editorial and literary settings rather than loud display. Its lightness and flowing details lend a cultured, elegant voice that reads as formal without becoming rigid.
The design appears intended to provide a contemporary, well-mannered take on an oldstyle text serif—prioritizing grace, readability, and a quiet sophistication through fine strokes, bracketed serifs, and a fluid, calligraphic construction.
Distinctive oldstyle cues appear in the lowercases, including a single-storey “g” with a prominent ear and a softly shaped “e,” while capitals maintain restrained, classical proportions. Numerals are slender and graceful, matching the light text color and reinforcing a polished, understated presence.
