A very light slab serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and clean, steady strokes. The construction is upright and fairly open, with generous counters and restrained curves that keep the texture airy in paragraph settings. Capitals feel stately and evenly proportioned, while the lowercase maintains a straightforward rhythm with modest terminals and clear joins; the italic is not shown. Numerals follow the same delicate, serifed treatment and read as consistent companions to the text face.
Well-suited to editorial typography where a light, refined voice is desired, such as magazine features, literary covers, and carefully set longform text at comfortable sizes. It can also support premium branding and packaging that benefits from a crisp slab-serif identity, provided contrast and size are chosen to preserve its fine details.
The overall tone is polished and quietly formal, suggesting bookish elegance rather than display dramatics. Its fine, poised detailing conveys a contemporary editorial sensibility with a nod to classic print typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, workhorse slab-serif feel in an unusually light weight, balancing clarity and structure with a minimal, elegant footprint on the page.
The thin weight makes spacing and rhythm especially prominent, producing a bright page color in running text. Round letters remain smooth and controlled, and the slab cues add a subtle structural backbone without becoming heavy or blocky.
