A delicate, high‑contrast serif with thin hairline serifs and sharply tapered terminals. Curves are smooth and generously open, while joins and stems stay crisp and straight, creating a clean, airy page color. Proportions feel traditionally bookish, with moderate ascenders/descenders and a balanced relationship between capitals and lowercase. Numerals and capitals share the same refined, lightly drawn presence, giving the overall texture a calm, measured rhythm.
Well suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a refined serif texture is desired. It can also support formal materials such as invitations and upscale branding, especially when paired with ample leading and generous margins.
The tone is polished and cultivated, leaning toward editorial and literary elegance rather than loud display. Its fine detailing and restrained shapes suggest sophistication and care, with a quiet, classical authority.
Likely designed to evoke a traditional, literary serif voice with modern cleanliness—prioritizing graceful contrast, clear counters, and a composed rhythm for continuous text.
The letterforms maintain consistent contrast and serif treatment across the set, and the spacing in the text sample reads orderly and composed. The light stroke weight and hairline details make it feel most at home when given room to breathe and printed or rendered at comfortable sizes.
