A delicate text serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and long, tapered strokes. Serifs are sharp and lightly bracketed, giving terminals a crisp, knife‑edge finish while maintaining a smooth rhythm through curved forms. Proportions run on the wide side with generous sidebearings, producing an open, spacious color in lines of text. The italics are not shown; the presented style is upright with smooth bowls, a relatively restrained x-height, and a slightly calligraphic feel in joins and diagonals.
Well suited to editorial typography, book or long-form reading layouts, and magazine work where a light, elegant serif can provide a refined texture. It can also serve for display applications such as headlines, pull quotes, and formal invitations where its sharp serifs and high contrast can be shown to advantage.
The overall tone is poised and literary, with a refined, high-end editorial sensibility. Its airy spacing and high-contrast detailing feel formal and composed rather than robust or utilitarian, suggesting a voice suited to cultured, classical contexts.
Likely designed as a conventional text serif with an emphasis on elegance and spacious readability, combining classic proportions with crisp, high-contrast detailing for a polished page presence.
At larger sizes the sharp serifs and thin hairlines read as a defining feature, while in smaller settings the light strokes may require careful handling of size and background contrast. Numerals and capitals appear consistent in contrast and finish, matching the same crisp serif treatment and wide stance.
