A very slender serif with crisp, square-ended slab serifs and a clean, upright stance. Strokes are thin with noticeable, restrained contrast, and terminals finish in blunt, rectangular cuts rather than soft curves. Proportions feel compact and economical, with a steady vertical rhythm and generous internal whitespace that keeps counters open. The overall drawing is tidy and consistent, with straight-sided stems, neatly controlled curves, and minimal flourish across both capitals and lowercase.
This face suits editorial design where a refined slab-serif voice is needed—magazine headings, book and album covers, pull quotes, and upscale packaging or branding. It also works well for short to medium-length text when set with comfortable size and leading, especially in print-oriented layouts that can preserve its fine details.
The tone is calm and literate, balancing modern precision with a nod to traditional book typography. Its lightness and sharp slab detailing give it an editorial seriousness, while the airy color keeps it feeling contemporary and understated rather than heavy or rustic.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, light-color slab serif that reads as cultured and controlled, prioritizing crisp geometry and a restrained, literary presence over warmth or heavy emphasis.
In the text sample, the font maintains an even baseline and predictable spacing, producing a quiet, measured texture. The thin joins and sharp serif treatment make it feel best on clean backgrounds and at sizes where fine details won’t be lost.
