A delicate slab-serif with very thin, even strokes and crisp, lightly bracketed rectangular serifs. The letterforms are generously proportioned with wide capitals, open counters, and smooth, near-circular bowls (notably in O/C/G). Curves and joins are clean and controlled, with a measured rhythm and ample internal space that keeps text from feeling dense even at larger sizes.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and brand systems where a light slab-serif can add structure without heavy weight. It can work for short editorial passages and display typography, especially where generous spacing and clean reproduction are available.
The overall tone is poised and understated, leaning toward an elegant, editorial feel rather than rustic or industrial slab-serifs. Its light footprint and wide stance give it a quiet confidence—formal, clear, and slightly luxurious without becoming ornate.
The design appears aimed at delivering a contemporary, minimal slab-serif voice: classical proportions and serif structure distilled into a light, spacious drawing for refined display and editorial applications.
The numerals and lowercase maintain the same fine, precise construction as the caps, producing a consistent texture across mixed-case settings. The thin horizontals and hairline serifs create a crisp silhouette that benefits from sufficient size and contrast in use.
