A very light slab serif with a clean, linear construction and gently bracketed serifs that read as small rectangular terminals. Strokes are slender and even, with modest modulation and smooth curves that keep counters open and legible. Proportions feel balanced and traditionally structured, with steady spacing and a measured rhythm that holds up from headings to running text. Numerals and punctuation share the same delicate, precise treatment, maintaining an overall crisp, uncluttered texture.
Works well for editorial layouts, long-form reading, and publication design where a light slab serif can add structure without heavy texture. It also suits refined branding, cultural or academic communications, captions, and pull quotes, especially when paired with ample whitespace and careful hierarchy.
The tone is quiet and composed, with a classic, editorial sensibility. Its thin strokes and restrained detailing give it an elegant, slightly formal presence without becoming ornate. Overall it feels trustworthy and bookish, suited to content-forward design where typographic voice should be refined but not loud.
Likely designed as a plainspoken, content-first slab serif that delivers a classic serif feel with clean terminals and dependable readability. The intent appears to be versatility across print-like applications, offering a polished voice that remains restrained and neutral.
The uppercase has a dignified, traditional stance with sharp joins and neat serifs, while the lowercase remains straightforward and highly readable. The overall color on the page is light and airy, so it benefits from sufficient size or generous leading in dense settings.
