A delicate text serif with fine, bracketed serifs and a restrained contrast that stays readable while feeling airy. Strokes are slender with crisp terminals, and the overall rhythm is even and calm, with gently tapered joins and smoothly drawn curves. Proportions lean traditional: capitals are stately and open, lowercase forms are compact and tidy, and spacing feels measured rather than tight. Numerals appear oldstyle, with varied heights and a softly calligraphic presence that integrates naturally with lowercase text.
Well suited to book interiors, long-form editorial, and other reading-focused settings where a light, classic serif can provide elegance without heavy texture. It also works nicely for refined headings, pull quotes, and formal printed materials such as programs or invitations where its delicate detailing can be appreciated.
The font conveys a quiet, literary elegance—polished and understated rather than flashy. Its thin strokes and graceful serifs suggest a cultured, editorial tone suited to refined typography and classic composition.
The design appears intended as a conventional, bookish serif with a light typographic color and traditional detailing, aiming for timeless readability paired with a refined, cultured tone.
Distinctive details include a calligraphic, swash-like tail on the capital Q, a two-storey g with a prominent lower bowl, and a slender, slightly curved descender on y. The overall color on the page is light, so it benefits from comfortable sizes and breathing room in layout.
