A delicate slab serif with very thin, even strokes and small, neatly bracketed slab serifs. The letterforms are open and generously spaced, with smooth, near-circular bowls (C, O) and a restrained, tidy rhythm in text. Capitals feel slightly formal and structured, while the lowercase is readable and conventional, with single-storey a and g, a compact ear on g, and a gently curving, descending y. Numerals are light and elegant, with an oldstyle-like feel in the curving 2 and 3 and a rounded 0.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, magazine typography, and book interiors where a lighter serif texture is desired. It also fits upscale packaging, cultural branding, and display settings such as pull quotes, headings, and captions that benefit from a refined slab-serif presence.
The overall tone is refined and understated, suggesting quiet sophistication rather than heavy robustness. It reads as literary and editorial, with an airy, high-end feel suited to calm, premium messaging.
Likely designed to deliver a familiar slab-serif structure with a much lighter, more elegant voice, balancing traditional proportions with a clean, modern restraint. The intent appears to be versatile readability with a premium, airy typographic color.
The light serifs and thin joins create a precise, clean texture that stays composed at larger sizes, while the open counters help maintain clarity in continuous text. The shapes remain conservative and consistent, avoiding conspicuous quirks while still feeling graceful.
