A very light, upright slab-serif with tall, slender proportions and crisp, unbracketed serifs that read as small, rectangular spurs. Strokes are consistently thin with minimal modulation, giving the face a clean, linear rhythm. The glyphs show a slightly irregular, hand-drawn flavor in terminals and joins—especially in the numerals and some lowercase forms—while maintaining overall alignment and a coherent texture. The lowercase appears modest in height relative to the capitals, and the set leans on simple, open counters and ample interior space for clarity.
Best suited to editorial settings and display typography where a light slab-serif texture can add personality—book and magazine headlines, pull quotes, cultural posters, and brand wordmarks. It can also work for short passages at comfortable sizes, where the thin strokes and sharp slab details remain clearly rendered.
The overall tone feels bookish and airy, with a subtle eccentricity that suggests a crafted, slightly idiosyncratic personality rather than strict corporate neutrality. Its thin build and spiky slab details add a gentle, vintage-leaning charm without becoming heavy or ornamental.
The design appears intended to blend the structural clarity of a slab serif with a delicate, slightly handcrafted finish, producing an expressive reading of classic letterforms. It prioritizes vertical elegance and crisp serif punctuation while keeping the overall color light and open.
The capitals carry a formal presence with pronounced vertical emphasis, while the lowercase introduces more playful movement in letters like a, g, y, and z. Numerals are distinctive and lightly stylized, pairing well with the letterforms for display use where character is desirable.
