A very slender slab serif with delicate, consistent strokes and flat, rectangular serifs that read as crisp and largely unbracketed. Proportions are open and airy, with generous interior spaces and smooth, near-monoline curves that keep the texture even in paragraphs. Uppercase forms feel restrained and classical, while the lowercase shows simple, straightforward construction with readable bowls and a clean, single-storey “g”. Numerals follow the same light, linear logic, maintaining clear shapes and a tidy baseline rhythm.
Well suited to editorial layouts, book and magazine typography, and brand systems that want a light, cultured slab serif voice. It also works for packaging or display lines where a refined, understated serif can carry the tone without adding visual heaviness.
The overall tone is quiet and polished, leaning toward literary and editorial rather than playful or loud. Its thin lines and measured forms give it a composed, slightly formal presence that feels suited to thoughtful, curated content.
The design appears intended as a clean, dependable slab serif with a restrained, contemporary finish—prioritizing even texture, clarity, and a refined lightness that can support both display lines and longer reading settings when sized appropriately.
At text sizes the hairline weight produces a light page color and a refined rhythm; it will look most confident when given sufficient size, spacing, or high-contrast rendering conditions so the fine serifs and thin horizontals remain distinct. The design stays visually consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, emphasizing clarity over personality-driven quirks.
