A very thin slab-serif with tall proportions and a calm, even rhythm. Strokes stay nearly monolinear, with small bracketed serifs that read as crisp horizontal terminals rather than heavy blocks, keeping the overall color light. Counters are open and vertical stress is subtle; round forms (O, C, G) are clean and restrained, while joins remain sharp and tidy. The lowercase mixes a two-storey a and a looped g, and the figures are slender with clear, old-style-like curves (notably in 2, 3, 5, and 9). Spacing appears generous, giving the face an airy texture in setting text.
Well-suited to editorial design, magazines, and short-to-medium passages where a light, elegant slab can add structure without heaviness. It can also work for refined branding and packaging, especially when a classic serif presence is desired at larger sizes.
The tone is understated and cultured, combining a bookish, academic feel with a refined editorial polish. Its delicacy and verticality lend it a poised, slightly formal character that reads as quiet rather than assertive.
The design appears intended to provide a clean, workhorse slab-serif voice with a notably light footprint—maintaining traditional serif cues and dependable letterforms while emphasizing elegance, whitespace, and a contemporary, pared-back texture.
Distinctive details include a narrow cap width with long verticals, a relatively compact crossbar treatment, and elegant curved terminals on letters like J and S that soften the otherwise rectilinear slab structure. The overall impression is consistent and measured, prioritizing clarity and sophistication over display theatrics.
