This is a delicate text serif with fine, hairline-like strokes and gently bracketed serifs. Curves are smooth and controlled, with a balanced, traditional modulation that keeps letters readable while feeling light on the page. Proportions are fairly classical: capitals are stately and open, lowercase forms are compact and tidy, and spacing feels even with a measured rhythm. Details like the two-storey “g,” modest terminals, and slender figures reinforce a bookish, editorial texture.
It suits editorial typography where a graceful, high-end text color is desired—magazine features, book interiors at comfortable sizes, and pull quotes. It also works well for premium branding, cultural institutions, and formal printed materials such as invitations or programs, especially when paired with ample whitespace.
The overall tone is refined and literary, suggesting quiet authority rather than overt display. Its lightness and clean finishing give it a polished, cultivated feel suited to sophisticated layouts and formal messaging.
The design appears intended as a conventional, readable serif with an elevated, contemporary refinement—preserving classic proportions and serif structure while emphasizing lightness, precision, and an uncluttered page rhythm.
The numerals appear similarly restrained and elegant, with thin joins and smooth bowls (notably in 8 and 9) that match the typeface’s airy color. The italic is not shown; the samples present a consistent upright voice with careful punctuation and comfortable word spacing.
