A very delicate slab-serif with hairline strokes and gently bracketed, rectangular serifs. The letterforms show a slight rightward slant and a calm, open rhythm, with rounded bowls and softly curved joins keeping the texture smooth. Proportions lean broad, giving capitals and numerals a composed, spacious presence, while the lowercase maintains clear, readable shapes with restrained terminals. Overall spacing reads generous and even, producing a light, refined page color in text.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, book typography, and magazine features where a light, cultured slab serif can add character without heavy ornament. It can also work for refined branding, packaging, and invitations when set at comfortable sizes and with adequate contrast in printing or on screen.
The tone is quiet and sophisticated, with a literary, editorial feel rather than a loud or rugged voice. Its fine weight and measured slabbing suggest elegance and restraint, suited to high-end, detail-oriented typography.
Likely intended as a modern, elegant slab-serif for long-form or display-adjacent typography, combining classic proportions with a lighter, more contemporary touch. The goal appears to be a distinctive yet usable text voice with an airy, premium finish.
The design balances crisp slab cues with softened curves, avoiding abrupt corners; this helps it stay graceful despite the squared serif vocabulary. Numerals follow the same light, polished construction, blending well with surrounding text.
