A light slab-serif with a largely monoline stroke and crisp, square-ended serifs. Proportions are generous and airy, with broad rounds and steady verticals that keep color even across text. Curves are smooth and open, counters are roomy, and joins stay clean without noticeable bracketing, giving the forms a tidy, engineered feel. The lowercase shows straightforward construction with a single-storey a and g, and the numerals follow the same restrained, lightly serifed logic.
Well-suited to editorial design where a light slab-serif voice is desired, such as magazine typography, book interiors at larger sizes, and section heads. It can also work for branding and packaging that wants a classic, literate tone with clean, square serif detailing.
The overall tone is studious and composed, balancing traditional slab-serif cues with a clean, contemporary spareness. Its lightness and open spacing make it feel quiet and refined rather than heavy or assertive.
The design appears intended to offer a calm, readable slab-serif with a light footprint: structured and dependable like a traditional slab, but simplified into clean, open forms that keep pages feeling bright and uncluttered.
In the sample text, the font maintains an even rhythm and consistent texture, with clear differentiation between similar shapes and a slightly extended presence that reads as spacious at display and comfortable at larger text sizes. The slab details stay subtle but consistently present, reinforcing structure without adding much visual noise.
