A very light, low-contrast slab serif with square, unbracketed serifs and a clean, monoline skeleton. The letterforms are generously proportioned with open counters and wide internal spaces, producing an airy texture in text. Strokes end in crisp, flat terminals; curves are smooth and restrained, while horizontals and serifs read as thin but clearly present. The lowercase is prominent with a tall x-height, and the overall rhythm is steady and even, with slightly mechanical, carefully drawn joins and consistent serif treatment across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazine features, book interiors, and refined headlines where a light slab serif can add structure without heaviness. It also works for pull quotes and large-format text settings that benefit from its airy spacing and crisp serif definition.
The font conveys an editorial, bookish calm—precise and composed rather than loud. Its thin slabs and ample spacing create a refined, contemporary tone that still nods to classic print typography. The result feels intelligent and measured, suitable for settings where clarity and sophistication matter more than assertive display weight.
Likely designed to provide a contemporary, lightweight slab-serif voice with clear, square serif cues and a spacious reading texture. The emphasis appears to be on refined typography for editorial and publishing contexts—combining modern restraint with familiar slab-serif anchoring.
In the sample text, the wide proportions and open counters keep paragraphs legible and spacious, while the very light strokes give a delicate, premium feel. The numerals share the same understated slab structure and maintain a coherent color with the letters, supporting mixed editorial content without visual interruption.
