A lightly built slab serif with crisp, square-ended serifs and largely monolinear strokes. Proportions feel open and spacious, with a tall x-height and relatively short ascenders that keep lowercase forms prominent. Curves are smooth and restrained, counters are open, and joins stay clean with minimal modulation. Numerals and capitals share the same airy rhythm, producing an even, quietly formal texture in paragraph settings.
Well suited to editorial typography such as books, long-form articles, and magazine layouts where a light, structured serif can keep pages feeling spacious. It can also work for restrained branding, headings, and pull quotes when a clean slab presence is desired without a heavy, rugged feel.
The overall tone is composed and literary, with a gentle academic flavor that reads as orderly rather than attention-seeking. Its light color and squared serifs lend a subtle editorial authority while staying approachable and calm.
The design appears intended to combine the steady scaffolding of a slab serif with an unusually light, airy color for comfortable reading and a contemporary, uncluttered page tone.
Uppercase shapes are straightforward and well balanced, while the lowercase maintains a consistent, uncluttered rhythm that supports continuous reading. The slab details stay crisp at text sizes in the sample, contributing structure without adding heaviness.
