A delicate serif with crisp hairline strokes and small, sharply finished serifs that read as lightly bracketed. Curves are smooth and controlled, with a restrained axis and clean joins that keep the texture even in continuous text. Uppercase forms feel stately and well-proportioned, while the lowercase shows traditional book-face manners—open bowls, compact terminals, and a double-storey “g” with a fine ear. Numerals are similarly light and poised, with rounded forms and thin links that reinforce the overall airy color.
Well-suited to book and editorial settings, particularly for headings, pull quotes, and refined body text at comfortable sizes. It also fits formal printed matter—programs, invitations, and cultural or academic materials—where an airy, classic serif voice is desirable.
The overall tone is polished and cultivated, leaning toward a quiet, editorial sophistication rather than overt personality. Its light touch and classic proportions suggest formality and care, making it feel suited to thoughtful, composed communication.
The design appears intended as a conventional, readable text serif with an emphasis on grace and economy of stroke. It balances classical structure with a light, modern finishing, aiming for an elegant page texture and clear letter differentiation.
In the sample paragraph, the thin horizontals and fine serifs create a bright page color and an articulate rhythm, especially in larger sizes. The design favors precision over robustness, so it visually shines where subtle stroke detail and spacing can be appreciated.
