A very lightly built slab serif with broad proportions, steady verticals, and gently rounded joins. The serifs read as squared and bracketed, giving the face a structured baseline and clear horizontal emphasis without heavy contrast. Curves are smooth and open, with large bowls and counters in letters like O, C, and e, while straight-sided forms such as H, N, and E keep a measured, formal rhythm. Lowercase shapes are clean and relatively large against the capitals, supporting readability and an even color at text sizes despite the fine strokes.
Well-suited to editorial typography where a light, refined slab voice is needed—magazines, book interiors, pull quotes, and section headings. Its wide proportions and delicate stroke weight also work nicely for upscale branding, packaging, and identity systems that want a classic serif structure without a heavy footprint.
The overall tone is poised and understated, combining a classic, bookish presence with a light, contemporary airiness. Its wide stance and crisp slab details lend an editorial, gallery-like feel rather than an industrial one.
This font appears intended as a modern workhorse slab with a restrained, elegant draw: slab-serifs for structure, broad letterforms for presence, and light strokes for a sophisticated, spacious texture in both text and display settings.
The sample text shows consistent spacing and a comfortable rhythm across mixed case, with numerals that echo the same light, rounded construction and slab-ended strokes. The design favors clarity and calmness over punchy display texture, making it feel composed even at larger sizes.
