A delicate serif with slim hairlines and gently modulated strokes, showing clear thick–thin transitions without becoming dramatic. Serifs are small and bracketed with subtle flaring at terminals, giving strokes a crisp, tapered finish. Proportions lean slightly narrow with tall capitals and a steady vertical rhythm, while counters remain open and the overall color stays light. The lowercase is traditional and readable, with compact bowls and restrained joins, suited to continuous text as well as display sizes.
Well-suited to book interiors, long-form editorial layouts, and magazine typography where a light, elegant serif texture is desired. It also works effectively for refined headlines, pull quotes, invitations, and formal branding that benefits from a classic, literary voice.
The tone is classical and composed, evoking editorial typography and traditional book work. Its lightness and fine finishing details lend a refined, slightly formal character that feels polished rather than assertive.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with a light, polished build—prioritizing readability and a measured rhythm while adding finesse through tapered terminals and restrained contrast.
In the text sample, the font maintains an even, calm texture across lines, with punctuation and numerals matching the same airy weight and understated contrast. The design reads cleanly at larger sizes, where the fine serifs and tapered terminals become a defining feature.
