A delicate serif with fine hairlines and crisp, tapered terminals. Strokes show a noticeable thick–thin modulation without becoming dramatic, and the serifs are small, sharp, and mostly bracketed, giving the outlines a clean, well-chiseled finish. Uppercase forms are tall and open with generous counters, while lowercase letters keep a relatively low x-height with long ascenders/descenders and ample sidebearings, producing an airy rhythm in text. Curves are smoothly drawn and symmetrical where expected (notably in O/Q), and joins remain precise, contributing to an overall polished, controlled texture.
Well-suited to magazine layouts, book interiors, and other editorial work where a classic serif voice is desired. It also performs nicely for refined headlines, pull quotes, invitations, and brand typography that benefits from a light, cultured appearance.
The tone reads formal and poised, with a quiet luxury that feels suited to editorial and cultural contexts. Its lightness and crisp detailing create an impression of sophistication and restraint rather than warmth or sturdiness.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with a deliberately light, elegant color, emphasizing clear proportions, crisp serifs, and a composed reading rhythm. It prioritizes refinement and typographic tradition over ruggedness or overt stylistic novelty.
At display sizes the fine detailing and tapering are especially apparent, while in continuous text the spacing and low x-height emphasize a classic bookish cadence. Numerals and punctuation match the same slender, high-finish construction, keeping a consistent, refined color across mixed content.
