A delicate slab-serif with fine, consistent stroke weight and softly bracketed, slab-like serifs. The forms lean toward classical proportions with a relatively short x-height, narrow apertures in some lowercase, and rounded bowls that stay airy through open counters. Terminals often show subtle flaring and gentle curvature rather than hard cuts, giving the outlines a slightly calligraphic, drawn quality. Spacing reads even and comfortable in text, with clear distinctions in capitals and tidy, compact lowercase construction.
Well suited for editorial typography—magazines, essays, and book interiors—where a light slab serif can add structure without heavy contrast. It can also work for refined branding, invitations, and pull quotes when set at comfortable sizes with adequate line spacing.
The overall tone is cultured and literary, blending traditional book typography with a light, graceful presence. It feels calm and articulate rather than loud, with just enough personality in the terminals and serifs to suggest editorial polish.
The design appears intended to provide a readable, classical text voice with slab-serif stability, while keeping the overall color light and elegant. Subtle flares and bracketing add warmth and personality, aiming for an approachable, literary texture in continuous reading.
The uppercase set presents clean, steady rhythms with broad circular letters (C, O, Q) and slender verticals (I, J, L) that remain readable due to the slab terminals. Numerals appear oldstyle-leaning in feel due to their lightness and curving shapes, harmonizing with the text color and avoiding harsh geometric rigidity.
