A very light, monoline serif with square, slab-like terminals and crisp joins. Strokes stay even and fine throughout, with unbracketed serifs that read as flat, rectangular caps on stems and arms. The design favors open, round bowls and generous counters, while curves remain smooth and controlled; diagonals and crossbars feel taut and precise. Spacing and rhythm are slightly irregular in an intentional, print-like way, giving the alphabet a lively, hand-set texture rather than a rigidly geometric cadence.
Best suited to editorial layouts, book interiors, and refined long-form settings where a light texture and classic serif cues are desired. It also works well for captions, pull quotes, and understated branding where a typewriter-like sharpness can add character without overwhelming the page.
The overall tone is quiet and intellectual, with a lightly vintage, typewriter-adjacent character. Its thin strokes and crisp slabs convey restraint and clarity, evoking editorial, archival, and literary contexts more than loud display work.
The design appears intended to blend a traditional slab-serif skeleton with a markedly light, monoline drawing to create a distinctive, print-reminiscent voice. It aims for legibility through open counters and straightforward construction, while using thin strokes and square serifs to add a cultivated, slightly nostalgic personality.
The numerals and punctuation keep the same fine, even color, so the face reads airy at text sizes and benefits from comfortable leading. Round forms (like O/0) appear notably open, while straight-sided letters maintain a firm, squared finish that reinforces the slab identity.
