A delicate serif with slim stems, softly bracketed serifs, and an overall airy color on the page. The contrast is moderate and smooth, with rounded joins and tapered terminals that feel lightly calligraphic rather than mechanical. Uppercase proportions are spacious with broad bowls (C, O) and a restrained, elegant T and E; the lowercase shows a two-storey a and g, a curved-shoulder r, and an f with a long descending tail. Numerals are open and traditional in feel, matching the text rhythm rather than a rigid lining, with rounded forms and subtle stroke modulation.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a light, refined serif is desired. It can also support upscale branding, invitations, and headlines when set with ample size and leading, where its delicate details and open curves can remain clear.
The tone is calm and literary, leaning toward a classic, slightly vintage text voice. Its fine serifs and gentle modulation give it an elegant, cultivated presence without feeling ornate or display-driven.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with an emphasis on elegance and softness—prioritizing a graceful reading rhythm, open counters, and understated detailing for a polished, literary impression.
Letterforms show a consistent, slightly softened drawing—curves are generously rounded and counters are open, which helps keep the texture readable despite the thin strokes. The italic is not shown; the sample focuses on roman text behavior and spacing.
