A delicate serif with thin, consistent strokes and finely bracketed slab-like serifs that read softly at the corners rather than sharply cut. The design favors generous interior space and open apertures, with smooth curves in rounds (C, O, Q) and restrained terminals that keep the texture even. Capitals are tall and elegant with relatively light presence, while the lowercase shows a gently calligraphic rhythm—noticeable in the curved shoulder of n and the looped, two-storey g. Numerals are similarly light and airy, with clear differentiation and a modest, book-typographic feel.
Works best in editorial layouts, books, and magazine typography where a light, refined serif can add sophistication without heavy emphasis. It can also suit short-form formal material—such as invitations, programs, or cultural branding—especially at moderate sizes where the fine strokes remain clear.
The overall tone is quiet, literary, and slightly formal, conveying refinement without feeling ornate. Its light color and rounded serif treatment give it a calm, approachable elegance suited to editorial and cultural contexts.
The design appears intended to provide a modernized, lightweight take on classic serif typography: traditional proportions and text-friendly shapes paired with softened, rounded serif joins for a gentler, contemporary finish.
The italic is not shown; the samples indicate a stable, upright voice with careful spacing and a smooth baseline rhythm. Some letterforms lean toward traditional text conventions (two-storey g, modest ear and tail details), which helps the font feel familiar in paragraph settings.
