A slender slab-serif with a clean, linear skeleton and minimal stroke modulation. Serifs read as small, squared terminals that stay consistent across the alphabet, giving a crisp, structured finish without feeling heavy. Curves are smooth and open, counters are generous, and joins remain controlled, producing an even rhythm in both capitals and lowercase. Figures follow the same light, tidy construction, with simple forms that align well in running text.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, book typography, and magazines where a light serif can add structure without adding visual weight. It can also support branding systems and print pieces such as invitations or programs, especially when paired with ample whitespace and moderate tracking.
The overall tone is calm and refined, leaning literary and editorial rather than overtly decorative. Its light presence and measured details convey a quiet sophistication—more understated than dramatic—suited to typography that should feel polished and deliberate.
Likely designed as a restrained slab-serif for contemporary reading and editorial work, balancing the sturdiness of slab terminals with a delicate, modern stroke weight. The intent appears to be versatility and polish: a dependable text-and-display serif that stays neutral while still feeling crafted.
The uppercase set feels particularly poised, with tall proportions and clear spacing that help maintain clarity at display sizes. In text, the consistent serif treatment and open shapes keep lines from looking busy, while the slim strokes give pages an airy, high-end feel.
