A refined slab serif with very thin, even strokes and crisp rectangular serifs that are subtly bracketed into the stems. Proportions are fairly traditional with a moderate x-height, open bowls and counters, and a steady, readable rhythm in text. Curves are smooth and controlled, terminals are clean, and the overall color stays light without sharp thick–thin drama. The lowercase shows familiar, workhorse structures (two-storey a, double-storey g) and the numerals follow a straightforward lining style that matches the calm, airy texture.
Well-suited to editorial design, book typography, and magazine layouts where a light slab serif can provide structure without heaviness. It can also work for refined branding, pull quotes, and section heads when a classic, composed tone is needed.
The tone is restrained and literary, suggesting print-minded clarity rather than display eccentricity. Its light presence feels elegant and quiet, lending a measured, professional voice to headings and body copy where a subtle slab character is desired.
The design appears intended as a plainspoken, highly readable slab serif with a delicate stroke weight—bringing a traditional, print-oriented voice and a disciplined texture to both text and display sizes without calling attention to quirks.
Serifs are consistently shaped and sized across the alphabet, giving a clear baseline and a slightly engraved, high-resolution feel at larger sizes. In the sample text, spacing appears even and the light strokes create generous whitespace, which can read sophisticated but may require sufficient size or contrast in production settings.
