A delicate slab-serif with a crisp, drawn-with-a-pen clarity and subtly softened corners. Strokes read clean and even, while the slab serifs are compact and lightly bracketed, creating a tidy, controlled rhythm. Proportions lean classical: rounded forms are generously open, verticals feel steady, and joins are smooth rather than sharp. Lowercase shows a two-storey “a” and single-storey “g,” with a modest, readable texture and careful spacing that stays airy in text.
Works well for editorial typography—book interiors, magazine features, essays, and pull quotes—where a light, refined slab serif can keep pages feeling open. It also suits sophisticated headlines and understated brand applications that want a classic voice with a softer edge.
The overall tone is literary and composed—quietly traditional without feeling heavy. It suggests editorial polish and an academic sensibility, with a gentle softness that keeps it approachable rather than severe.
The design appears intended to provide a legible, traditional slab-serif texture in a lighter, more elegant register. Its restrained details and softened geometry aim for versatility across display and text settings while maintaining a calm, cultivated character.
Numerals are simple and unobtrusive, matching the letterforms with restrained curves and minimal flourish. The sample text maintains a consistent, even color, and the softened terminals help long lines feel less brittle at larger sizes.
