A delicate serif with fine hairlines, lightly bracketed serifs, and smooth, calligraphic modulation. The proportions are balanced and relatively open, with rounded bowls and a gentle diagonal stress that gives curves a drawn, humanist feel. Terminals tend toward tapered, teardrop-like finishes, and joins stay clean and understated, producing an even, quiet rhythm in both caps and lowercase. Numerals follow the same refined logic, with slender forms and crisp, understated detailing.
Well suited to editorial typography where a refined, literate voice is desired—book interiors, long-form articles, and magazine features—especially at comfortable reading sizes. It can also support premium branding, packaging, and invitations when an elegant serif impression is needed, provided there is sufficient size and contrast for its fine details.
The overall tone is elegant and restrained, suggesting bookish sophistication rather than assertive display. Its light touch and nuanced curves evoke a classic, cultured mood suited to polished editorial settings.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional text serif experience with a more delicate, contemporary lightness—prioritizing grace, subtle modulation, and an elevated reading tone over robust, utilitarian color.
Uppercase forms read stately and composed, while the lowercase introduces more fluidity through softly shaped shoulders, a looping ‘g’, and a gently angled italic-like energy despite remaining upright. The design favors finesse over heft, so spacing and line breaks feel important to preserve its airy texture.
