A very light slab-serif with crisp, straight-edged serifs and largely monoline stroke behavior. The forms are open and generously spaced, with a restrained rhythm that reads cleanly even at small sizes. Uppercase proportions feel broad and steady, while the lowercase maintains a straightforward, unembellished construction; bowls and counters are round and uncluttered, and terminals tend to end in flat, squared finishes. Numerals match the text color with similarly delicate strokes and stable, readable shapes.
Well-suited to editorial typography where a light, elegant slab-serif texture is desired, including book interiors, magazine features, and pull quotes. It also performs nicely for headlines and brand systems that want a refined, structured voice without heavy contrast, especially on high-resolution print or screen.
The overall tone is quiet and cultivated, balancing a traditional editorial feel with a spare, airy delicacy. Its light touch and squared finishing details lend it a composed, slightly technical refinement rather than overt warmth.
The font appears designed to deliver a classic slab-serif presence in an unusually delicate weight, emphasizing clarity, openness, and typographic restraint. Its squared serifs and consistent stroke logic suggest an intention to keep a disciplined, contemporary page color while retaining traditional letterform cues.
The design relies on precision and restraint: thin horizontals and verticals stay consistent, serifs act as subtle anchors, and the generous apertures keep text from feeling brittle. In running text, the even texture and moderate spacing contribute to a smooth, unhurried reading color.
