A slender slab serif with fine hairline strokes and lightly bracketed, squared serifs that read clean and architectural. Proportions feel open and somewhat extended, with generous spacing and a calm, even rhythm across text. Curves are smooth and controlled, with moderate stroke modulation and sharp terminals; joins stay crisp rather than calligraphic. Lowercase forms are straightforward and readable, while details like the hooked descenders and small ball/teardrop terminals on select characters add subtle refinement without breaking the overall uniformity.
Works well for editorial layouts, magazine typography, and book components where a light slab serif can provide structure without heaviness. It can also serve branding, pull quotes, and refined headlines that benefit from a crisp serif voice and ample white space.
The tone is restrained and polished, leaning literary and editorial rather than overtly loud or decorative. Its lightness and open proportions create an airy, upscale feel suited to elegant typography. Overall it communicates clarity, composure, and a slightly vintage book-page sensibility.
Designed to deliver a dependable slab-serif foundation with a lighter, more elegant color than typical robust slabs. The intent appears to balance traditional serif credibility with modern clarity, offering a clean, readable texture and understated character for continuous text and editorial display.
The caps present a formal, steady presence with clear slab cues, while the lowercase introduces gentle personality through a few curved terminals and distinctive descender shapes. Numerals match the light, refined color and maintain consistent alignment and spacing, keeping mixed text/numeral settings orderly.
