A very slender serif with delicate, hairline-like stems and crisp bracketed serifs. The overall construction is classical and restrained, with smooth, rounded bowls and a consistent, measured rhythm across uppercase and lowercase. Curves transition cleanly into verticals, and terminals stay sharp without heavy flare, keeping the page color light and open. Numerals follow the same fine, graceful treatment, reading more like text figures in spirit than chunky display forms.
Well-suited to editorial settings such as magazines, essays, and book typography where a light, polished serif can add sophistication. It can also work for formal invitations and understated branding, particularly in headings, pull quotes, and large-size text where its fine details remain clear.
The tone is quiet and cultivated, leaning toward editorial elegance rather than bold personality. Its light texture and tidy finishing details give it a refined, literary feel suited to nuanced, high-end typography.
The design appears intended as a conventional, literary text serif with an emphasis on delicacy and refinement. It prioritizes a clean, classical reading rhythm and an elegant silhouette for high-end editorial and display-leaning text applications.
In the sample text the thin strokes create a bright, airy paragraph texture, while the serifs help maintain line flow and word shape. The design favors sophistication over robustness, so it visually rewards generous sizing and comfortable spacing.
