A slender slab-serif with tall proportions and generous vertical emphasis. Strokes are largely even and delicate, with softly rounded, lightly bracketed serifs that read as small caps at text sizes but remain clearly present in the alphabet grid. Curves are smooth and open, counters are relatively spacious for the narrow width, and joins stay clean and restrained. Terminals tend toward gentle rounding rather than sharp cuts, giving the overall construction a polished, slightly softened texture.
It suits editorial typography where a graceful, space-efficient serif is helpful—magazines, book interiors, and pull quotes—especially when paired with ample leading. It can also work well for tasteful packaging and formal invitations where a refined, traditional voice is desired without visual heaviness.
The tone is quiet and refined, combining a classic, literary feel with a light, airy rhythm. Its narrow stance and subtle rounding keep it elegant and understated rather than heavy or industrial.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic slab-serif presence in a lighter, more delicate register, emphasizing vertical elegance, readability, and a softened finish through rounded details and restrained serifs.
The overall rhythm is vertical and orderly, with a consistent baseline and a slightly calligraphic softness in curves, while maintaining a crisp, typeset look. Numerals follow the same slim, upright structure, and punctuation sits lightly with ample white space around it in the sample text.
