A delicate serif with fine hairline terminals, tapered strokes, and clean, sharp serif endings. The letterforms are open and generously spaced, with a calm vertical axis and subtly modulated stroke contrast that keeps curves and stems feeling crisp rather than heavy. Capitals are tall and stately, while the lowercase shows long ascenders/descenders and a smooth, editorial rhythm; numerals follow the same light, refined construction.
Well suited to editorial typography such as book interiors, magazine features, and refined long-form layouts, especially where a light, cultured voice is desired. It also performs nicely for display uses like pull quotes, section headings, invitations, and luxury-leaning branding where its delicate serifs and open forms can be appreciated.
The overall tone is elegant and literary, conveying a quiet sophistication suited to curated, high-end typography. Its light touch and airy spacing create a graceful, poised impression rather than a dense or utilitarian one.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic text-serif reading experience with a lighter, more graceful color on the page. It prioritizes elegance and clarity through fine serifs, open counters, and a steady, traditional structure.
Round forms (like O, C, Q, and 8) are drawn with smooth, even curvature and restrained contrast, helping the face read cleanly at larger sizes. The design relies on fine details—thin serifs, slender joins, and narrow stroke endings—so it benefits visually from adequate size and comfortable line spacing.
