A very light slab-serif with crisp, flat-ended serifs and a clean, upright construction. Strokes are thin and even with subtle contrast, producing a quiet, precise texture. Proportions feel slightly condensed and vertical, with a notably tall x-height and short extenders that keep lines compact. Curves are smooth and controlled (especially in C, O, and e), while joins and terminals stay squared and disciplined, giving the letterforms a neat, engineered finish.
Works well for editorial settings—magazine heads, pull quotes, and book typography—where a light slab serif can add structure without heaviness. It also suits understated branding and packaging that needs a crisp, cultured voice, particularly at moderate to larger sizes where the delicate strokes stay distinct.
The overall tone is refined and composed, balancing bookish elegance with a contemporary, minimal sharpness. Its hairline presence and square-ended details lend a tasteful, editorial feel rather than a loud display personality.
Likely designed to deliver a modern slab-serif flavor in an unusually light weight, combining squared terminals and tall lowercase proportions for a clean, efficient reading rhythm. The intent appears to be a poised, contemporary interpretation of slab serif cues suitable for elegant editorial and identity work.
Uppercase forms read stately and airy with generous interior space, while the lowercase maintains clarity through the tall x-height and simple, open shapes. Numerals are thin and tidy, with straightforward geometry that matches the restrained serif treatment.
