A light slab serif with clean, square-ended serifs and predominantly straight, rectilinear construction tempered by gentle curves in bowls and shoulders. Strokes are fine and consistent with modest contrast, producing an airy texture and clear rhythm. Proportions are on the expansive side with generous spacing, while the tall lowercase gives the text a contemporary, efficient vertical presence.
Well suited to editorial layouts, magazines, and book typography where a light slab serif can add structure without feeling heavy. It also fits branding systems that want a measured, literate tone—such as cultural institutions, publishing imprints, or product packaging that benefits from clear, upright letterforms. For interface or data-adjacent uses, the open shapes and straightforward figures can work where a serifed voice is desired.
This font conveys a composed, bookish tone with a lightly formal, editorial feel. Its crisp slab details and restrained warmth suggest reliability and clarity rather than playfulness.
The design appears intended to deliver a calm, readable slab serif voice with a modernized, structured silhouette. By pairing light strokes with square, confident serif terminals and open forms, it aims to stay crisp at text sizes while maintaining a distinctive editorial character.
The sample text shows steady baseline behavior and consistent serif treatment across caps and lowercase, with a notably open, uncluttered texture in paragraphs. Numerals are simple and readable with the same square-terminal logic, supporting a cohesive typographic system.
