A very light slab-serif with crisp, unbracketed terminals and an overall airy color on the page. Strokes are thin and consistent, with moderate contrast showing most clearly in curves and joins, while the serifs remain straight, square, and neatly aligned. Proportions feel tall and slightly narrow in the capitals, with generous sidebearings that create an open rhythm in text. Lowercase forms are clean and traditional, with a two-storey “g,” a compact ear on “g,” and a single-storey feel in simpler letters like “a,” all rendered with fine hairline detail. Numerals are similarly delicate and elongated, maintaining the same sharp, rectilinear finishing throughout.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and other short-to-medium editorial settings where its fine detail can stay intact. It can also work for restrained branding and packaging that wants a crisp, refined slab-serif voice, especially when set with generous spacing and a clean layout.
The font reads as quiet, polished, and bookish, projecting a composed, editorial tone rather than a loud display presence. Its thin strokes and precise slab terminals lend an elegant, slightly formal mood suited to high-end, minimal typography.
Designed to merge the structure and steadiness of slab serifs with a high-contrast, delicate drawing for a more elegant, contemporary editorial feel. The consistent square terminals and tall proportions suggest an emphasis on precision, clarity, and typographic sophistication rather than ruggedness.
At larger sizes the sharp slabs and hairline strokes look particularly crisp, while at smaller sizes the very light weight suggests it will benefit from ample size and comfortable line spacing. The spacing and tall proportions create a measured, classical cadence in continuous text.
