A very light slab serif with crisp, straight stems and long, flat serifs that read as gently bracketed rather than abruptly cut. Proportions are on the wide side with generous spacing, giving words a relaxed, open rhythm. Curves are smooth and near-monoline in feel, with subtle modulation visible mainly where rounds meet straights. Uppercase forms are elegant and restrained, while the lowercase shows clear, readable construction with open apertures and tidy terminals, producing a clean text color at larger sizes.
Best suited to editorial typography such as magazine headlines, section openers, and pull quotes where the fine strokes can be appreciated. It can also work for book jackets and brand wordmarks that want a literary, high-end tone, especially when set with comfortable tracking and ample leading.
The overall tone is quiet and editorial, with a refined, contemporary-book feel rather than loud personality. Its thin strokes and ample air convey sophistication and restraint, lending a measured, composed voice to headings and pull quotes.
The design appears intended to deliver a plainspoken slab-serif structure in an unusually delicate weight, combining sturdy serif cues with an airy, modern page presence. It prioritizes clarity and evenness while adding a subtle premium feel through thin strokes and generous proportions.
The slab serifs are consistent across the alphabet and numerals, supporting a stable baseline and a slightly architectural presence despite the delicate weight. Numerals appear similarly light and open, matching the letterforms without becoming decorative.
