A very light slab serif with generous proportions and a steady, upright construction. Serifs are square and mostly bracketed, giving terminals a crisp, architectural finish without feeling heavy. Strokes stay fairly even with only subtle modulation, and the overall rhythm is spacious, helped by open counters and slightly extended widths in many capitals. Round letters (C, O, Q) are smooth and clean, while diagonals (A, V, W, X) are sharp and controlled; the lowercase shows compact, readable forms with modest ascenders and descenders and a two-storey “g.” Numerals are similarly light and open, with simple, legible shapes suited to text settings.
Well suited to book and long-form editorial typography where a light, open color is desired. It also works for magazine headlines, refined branding, and packaging that benefits from a crisp slab-serif presence without visual heaviness.
The tone is restrained and cultured, pairing a delicate weight with sturdy slab-serif punctuation. It reads as quietly authoritative—more literary and editorial than rustic—bringing a composed, modernized classicism to longer passages.
Likely designed as a versatile, readable slab serif that keeps the practical structure of a workhorse face while dialing the weight down for a more elegant, contemporary page texture.
The thin hairline-like stems make it feel elegant at larger sizes, while the slab serifs preserve clarity and letter separation in continuous text. Spacing appears comfortable and consistent, contributing to a smooth, unforced texture in paragraphs.
