A very thin, hairline slab serif with crisp rectangular terminals and a clean, upright construction. Strokes are consistently light with minimal modulation, giving the letterforms an open, airy color and a somewhat delicate texture on the page. Proportions are classical and measured: capitals feel tall and stately, lowercase is compact with a modest x-height, and spacing is even with a steady, readable rhythm. Serifs are straight and sharp-edged, and the numerals follow the same restrained, linear logic with clear, uncluttered forms.
This font is well suited to editorial settings where a light, polished serif voice is needed—magazine features, pull quotes, refined brochures, and book typography at comfortable sizes. It can also serve in branding and stationery where a restrained, upscale impression is desired, especially in headings and short blocks of text.
The overall tone is quiet and refined, leaning literary and editorial rather than loud or decorative. Its delicate stroke weight and tidy slabs suggest a composed, slightly old-world sophistication suited to elegant typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a plainspoken slab-serif foundation with a notably light, elegant touch—balancing traditional serif proportions with a clean, modern linearity. It prioritizes consistency and readability while keeping the visual footprint minimal and sophisticated.
In the text sample, the hairline strokes keep the page tone light, while the slab serifs add structure and help maintain horizontal flow. Round letters remain smooth and controlled, and the design avoids exaggerated quirks, favoring consistent geometry and a disciplined baseline presence.
