A light, open slab serif with crisp, unbracketed serifs and a clearly drawn, calligraphic-to-transitional contrast pattern. Strokes are slender and clean, with round counters and generous internal space, giving the design a wide, airy footprint on the line. Serifs read as flat and square-ended with minimal flare, creating a steady baseline and a slightly engraved feel. The lowercase shows a restrained, readable rhythm with compact terminals and a clear, rounded bowl structure; figures are similarly light and open, matching the text color.
Best suited to editorial settings where a light, refined slab can add character without losing structure—such as book jackets, magazine headlines, pull quotes, and high-end packaging. It can also work for short-to-medium text in spacious layouts where its hairline strokes and generous spacing have room to breathe.
The overall tone is calm and literary, balancing crispness with a delicate, almost engraved refinement. Its wide stance and hairline weight suggest a thoughtful, archival sensibility rather than a loud display voice.
The typeface appears intended to reinterpret a classic slab-serif voice with lighter strokes and expanded proportions, aiming for elegance and clarity in contemporary editorial composition.
Spacing appears generous, which reinforces clarity and an airy texture in paragraphs. The design maintains consistent serif treatment across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, helping mixed-case text feel cohesive.
