A delicate slab-serif design with fine, even strokes and square, unbracketed terminals that read as crisp blocks at the ends of stems. The proportions are restrained and classical, with narrow-ish capitals, round bowls kept smooth and open, and a steady rhythm across the alphabet. Serifs are consistent and relatively flat, giving verticals a subtle, architectural finish while keeping curves clean and lightly drawn. Numerals follow the same understated construction, with clear, simple forms and modest detailing.
Well suited to book interiors, long-form editorial layouts, and magazine typography where a light, refined serif can carry extended reading. It can also work for restrained branding, cultural institutions, and packaging that benefits from a crisp slab-serif accent without heavy weight.
The overall tone feels cultured and editorial—quietly authoritative rather than loud. Its light color and precise slab finishing suggest a thoughtful, composed voice suited to elegant, text-forward settings.
The design appears intended to merge a literary, old-style reading feel with the crisp structure of square-ended slabs, producing a composed text face with clear terminals and a controlled, elegant color on the page.
In paragraph setting, the texture stays even and airy, with generous counters and minimal stroke modulation helping long lines remain calm and readable. The slab terminals add definition at small sizes, but the very fine strokes suggest it will look best where printing or rendering is clean and not overly constrained.
