A very light slab serif with crisp, unbracketed rectangular serifs and a generous overall set. Strokes are fine and even, with subtle contrast and clean, sharply cut terminals. The letterforms lean on classical proportions—wide round forms, open counters, and long horizontals—while maintaining a restrained, contemporary precision. Lowercase shows a two-storey “a,” a single-storey “g,” and a lightly looping “j,” and the figures are similarly delicate with flat-ended construction that matches the serif treatment.
Best suited to display and larger text settings such as magazine typography, book and chapter titles, pull quotes, and refined brand wordmarks. It can also work for elegant printed pieces—programs, invitations, and packaging—where its light slabs and generous spacing can be given room to breathe.
The tone is elegant and calm, combining old-style poise with a modern, minimalist lightness. Its hairline weight and spacious rhythm read as cultured and editorial rather than rustic or industrial, giving it a quiet luxury and a measured, literary voice.
The design appears aimed at delivering a modernized slab-serif voice: sharply unbracketed serifs and hairline construction paired with wide, readable forms. The intention is likely to offer an upscale editorial alternative to heavier slabs—prioritizing sophistication, openness, and typographic finesse in display contexts.
At text sizes the thin joins and hairline serifs emphasize delicacy, while the wide proportions and open shapes help maintain clarity. The overall rhythm is consistent and measured, with punctuation-like ball/teardrop touches appearing in select terminals (notably on a few curved letters), adding a subtle ornamental finish without becoming decorative.
