A delicate serif text face with slender, sharply defined strokes and a calm, consistent vertical axis. Serifs are fine and tapered with a subtly calligraphic feel, and terminals often resolve into small wedges or teardrop-like finishing strokes. Proportions are high-waisted with relatively long ascenders and descenders; curves are smooth and controlled, with moderate modulation that stays even across rounds and straights. The capitals are elegant and open, and the overall rhythm is spacious, with generous counters and a lightly drawn presence that keeps large text looking uncluttered.
Well suited to editorial typography such as book interiors, long-form articles, and magazine layouts where a light, refined texture is desired. It can also work for premium stationery, invitations, and brand identities that benefit from understated elegance, especially at comfortable text sizes with ample leading.
The tone is polished and literary, leaning toward classic book typography rather than display exuberance. Its lightness and crisp detailing read as elegant and considered, suitable for settings that want quiet sophistication. Overall it conveys a composed, traditional voice with a contemporary cleanness.
The design appears intended to provide a classic, readable serif voice while emphasizing delicacy and openness. Its tapered detailing and controlled modulation suggest a focus on refined texture and graceful typography rather than heavy emphasis or high-impact display.
The numerals appear text-friendly and refined, matching the letterforms’ light stroke weight and tapered finishing. Diacritics and punctuation (as shown) keep the same restrained, sharp-edged detailing, helping maintain a consistent texture in continuous reading.
