A delicate slab-serif with thin, even strokes and crisp, square-ended serifs. The letterforms are compact and relatively tall, with restrained curves and a tidy, vertical rhythm. Serifs read as flat and largely unbracketed, giving capitals a clean, constructed feel while remaining light on the page. Counters stay open and simple, and the overall texture is calm and lightly spaced, suited to continuous reading at moderate sizes.
Well suited to editorial typography such as book interiors, magazine features, essays, and other longform settings where a light serif texture is desired. It can also work for invitations, programs, and refined display lines when set with generous leading and careful size choices to preserve its fine details.
The tone feels bookish and quietly formal, with a lightly vintage, editorial sensibility. Its thin build and crisp slabs convey refinement and precision rather than heaviness, creating an understated, literary voice.
The design appears intended to merge the clarity of a restrained, constructed slab-serif skeleton with a very light typographic color, offering a traditional serif presence without visual weight. It aims for readable, composed text with a crisp, square-serif signature that stays subtle in continuous setting.
The figures follow the same airy, linear construction as the letters, keeping a consistent color across mixed text. In the sample paragraph, the type maintains a steady cadence and clear word shapes, with enough serif presence to read as traditionally grounded while still feeling minimal.
