A very light slab-serif with crisp, hairline strokes and square-ended serifs that read more like fine brackets than heavy blocks. Curves are smooth and near-monoline, with gently tapered joins and ample interior space. Proportions feel classical and slightly condensed in the capitals, while lowercase forms are open and neatly drawn; the two-storey a and single-storey g keep the texture clean and literary. Numerals are slender and high-contrast in silhouette (not stroke), with clear differentiation and a graceful, slightly calligraphic flow in figures like 2 and 3.
Well suited to editorial settings—magazine features, book typography, and elegant headlines—where a light, refined slab serif can add structure without heaviness. It can also work for premium branding and packaging when used at comfortable sizes with ample leading.
The overall tone is quiet and cultivated: understated, precise, and editorial. Its thin strokes and measured spacing create a sense of sophistication and restraint rather than ruggedness or loud display energy.
The design appears intended to offer a modern, minimalist take on the slab-serif idea—keeping the serif cues for authority and structure while maintaining a delicate, airy texture for contemporary editorial use.
The font relies on consistent, fine serifs and generous counters to maintain clarity; it looks best when given sufficient size or good print/retina conditions. The rhythm is even and composed in running text, with a noticeably light color on the page.
