This serif typeface uses delicate hairline-like strokes with subtly flared, bracketed serifs and a smooth, calligraphic modulation. The proportions are classic and slightly narrow in feel, with open counters and carefully balanced curves that keep the shapes airy rather than dense. Terminals are sharp and tidy, and the overall rhythm is even, with gentle stroke thinning at joins and along curves that adds polish without becoming overly formal.
Well suited to long-form editorial typography, book interiors, and magazine layouts where a classic serif color is desired at comfortable sizes. It can also work effectively for refined display uses such as literary titles, pull quotes, and formal stationery when given enough size and spacing to preserve its fine details.
The tone is refined and literary, evoking traditional publishing and quiet sophistication. Its light touch and crisp detailing create an elegant, composed voice that feels cultured and conservative rather than loud or trendy.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with a more delicate, elegant finish—prioritizing graceful modulation, crisp serifing, and an even reading rhythm for cultured, traditional typography.
Uppercase forms show restrained elegance (notably in the round letters and the diagonal structure of A/V/W), while the lowercase maintains a readable, bookish texture with unobtrusive serifs and clear internal space. Numerals appear similarly light and poised, suited to settings where subtlety is preferred over strong emphasis.
