A condensed slab serif with slender, nearly monoline strokes and crisp, rectangular terminals. Serifs read as small, bracketless slabs that keep the texture orderly and vertical, while rounded forms (C, O, S) stay smooth and controlled. Proportions are tall and columnar, with compact widths and a relatively high x-height that strengthens readability despite the light build. Numerals and caps follow the same restrained rhythm, producing an even, lightly textured color in text.
This font suits editorial typography where a compact, vertically oriented slab serif can add structure without heavy color. It works well for magazine headlines, book and journal covers, pull quotes, and short passages where a lighter, refined slab tone is desired.
The overall tone is quiet and literary, combining a classic slab-serif foundation with a light, airy presence. It feels composed and slightly vintage, but not decorative—more like a refined, utilitarian face for structured reading and calm display.
The font appears intended to provide a straightforward slab-serif voice in a condensed, lighter build—balancing classic letterform cues with a neat, economical footprint for contemporary editorial composition.
The design maintains consistent stroke endings and spacing, creating a steady cadence across mixed-case text. Round glyphs remain open and clean, and the light weight gives large-size setting a delicate, elegant feel while preserving a clear serifed identity.
