A delicately drawn text serif with slender stems, noticeable stroke taper, and lightly bracketed, hairline serifs. The letterforms keep a vertical, controlled posture while showing a subtle calligraphic modulation, especially in curved joins and terminals. Counters are open and the spacing feels measured, producing a steady, slightly airy rhythm in words. Capitals are tall and narrow with restrained flourish; small letters show crisp details such as a two-storey a and g, a compact e with a sharp terminal, and a descending f with a fine hook.
It suits book and journal typography, editorial layouts, and other long-form settings where a classic serif voice and economical horizontal footprint are useful. The refined capitals also work well for headings, pull quotes, and titling when a traditional, polished impression is desired.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, leaning toward literary and editorial seriousness rather than display exuberance. Its fine detailing and narrow proportions suggest a quietly elegant, archival feel—appropriate for content that benefits from a composed, formal voice.
The design appears aimed at delivering a conventional reading face with a more delicate, space-saving color, balancing fine serif detail with steady text rhythm. Its proportions and controlled modulation suggest an intention to feel classical and literary while remaining practical for dense composition.
Distinctive character comes through in the rounded, gently tapered curves (notably in C, G, and O) and the long, sweeping Q tail. Numerals follow the same delicate construction, with narrow figures and crisp, serifed endings that keep them consistent in running text.
