A very light, monoline slab-serif design with generously rounded slab serifs and softly curved terminals. Strokes maintain an even weight throughout, with broad, open bowls and a relaxed, slightly spacious rhythm. The shapes favor smooth curves over sharp joins, giving counters a clean, open feel; diagonals and horizontals stay crisp while corners are subtly softened. Numerals follow the same light, rounded construction, with a friendly, uncluttered presence.
Well suited to editorial settings that want a softer slab-serif flavor, as well as branding and packaging where a gentle, crafted tone is desirable. It can work nicely for posters, pull quotes, and short-to-medium text at display sizes where its light weight and rounded detailing remain distinct.
The overall tone is calm and approachable, blending a bookish serif voice with a gentle, almost hand-drawn softness. Its light touch and rounded slabs feel friendly rather than authoritative, making text look inviting and easygoing.
Likely intended to offer a light, contemporary slab-serif option that feels friendly and refined, pairing structural serifs with softened geometry for a warm, approachable reading experience.
Serifs are consistently present but not heavy, reading as soft-edged slabs that add structure without increasing darkness. The sample text shows clear word shapes and comfortable spacing at larger sizes, while the light strokes suggest it will look best when given enough size or contrast against the background.
