A delicate, monoline serif with gently bracketed slab-like serifs and subtly rounded terminals. The construction feels clean and measured, with smooth curves, open counters, and a restrained rhythm that keeps spacing even and legible. Capitals are tall and tidy with minimal flourish, while the lowercase maintains a steady texture and clear joins; numerals follow the same light, consistent stroke and simple, readable forms.
Well-suited to editorial typography, book jackets, and magazine headlines where a refined serif texture is desired without heavy contrast. It can also support understated branding and packaging, especially for premium or minimal identities that benefit from a soft, modern-classic voice.
The overall tone is calm and cultivated, mixing a contemporary lightness with a bookish, editorial sensibility. Its rounded details and soft slab endings give it a polite, approachable presence rather than a sharp or formal one.
The font appears designed to deliver a refined serif impression with slab-like stability, while keeping the forms light and approachable through rounded finishing. The consistent stroke and open shapes suggest an emphasis on clean reproduction and an elegant reading texture in display-to-text settings.
The design leans on clarity over ornament: bowls and arcs are spacious, terminals are softened, and the light strokes create an elegant, slightly fragile color on the page. It feels most at home when allowed generous size or leading so its fine structure can breathe.
