A refined slab-serif with light, crisp strokes and a clean, open texture. Serifs read as flat slabs with subtle bracketing, giving a sturdy baseline presence while the overall weight stays delicate. Proportions feel relatively tall through the lowercase, with generous counters and a steady vertical axis; rounds are smooth and the joins remain controlled, producing an even, readable rhythm. The letterforms show a mild calligraphic influence in stroke modulation and tapered details, but maintain a clear, typographic structure.
Well-suited for editorial layouts, book typography, and magazine text where a light slab-serif can add structure without heaviness. It also works for literary or cultural titles, pull quotes, and identity systems that want a classic voice with crisp, modern clarity.
The tone is literary and composed, balancing a traditional, bookish voice with a slightly contemporary lightness. It feels trustworthy and academic rather than ornate, with just enough character in the terminals and rhythm to avoid neutrality.
The design appears intended to provide a readable, text-oriented slab serif that combines sturdy slab terminals with a light, elegant presence, offering traditional credibility while staying clean and contemporary on the page.
In text, the light weight and open spacing create an elegant, breathable color that suits longer passages. The numerals are clear and classic in feeling, with straightforward shapes that match the restrained serif treatment and keep figures legible alongside text.
