A delicate, high-contrast serif with thin hairlines and stronger vertical stems, producing a crisp, engraved-like rhythm on the page. Serifs are fine and mostly bracketed, with sharp, tapered terminals that keep counters open and forms clean. Proportions are moderate and traditional, with a slightly compact lowercase and clear differentiation between characters; curves (C, G, O, Q) are smoothly drawn and the overall texture stays even in running text despite the light detailing.
Well-suited to book and magazine typography, especially for body text and pull quotes where a refined, traditional serif texture is desired. It also works effectively for literary or institutional titles, invitations, and other formal print applications where a light, crisp impression is appropriate.
The tone is poised and literary, evoking traditional book typography and polished editorial design. Its sharp finishing and restrained forms feel formal and cultivated rather than decorative, lending an elegant, composed voice to longer passages.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional reading serif with a distinctly delicate, high-contrast finish—prioritizing elegance and typographic polish while maintaining familiar proportions for sustained text use.
Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with slender joins and precise terminals that read best when not overly reduced. In the sample text, spacing appears measured and consistent, supporting a calm, continuous reading flow while preserving a bright, airy color.
