A slender slab-serif with crisp, mostly unbracketed terminals and a consistent, finely drawn stroke that reads as delicate at text sizes. Proportions are balanced and fairly classical, with generous round forms (C, O) and clear, open counters throughout. Serifs are small but distinct on stems and arms, giving structure without adding heaviness; joins and curves are smooth and controlled, and spacing appears even, supporting a steady rhythm in continuous reading. Numerals follow the same light, tidy construction, with simple geometry and restrained detailing.
Well-suited to editorial layouts such as magazines and books where a light slab serif can add structure and a subtle typographic voice. It can also work for branding, reports, and packaging that want a clean, literate tone without overt ornamentation, especially in headings and short-to-medium text blocks.
The overall tone is understated and precise, combining a quiet editorial seriousness with a contemporary lightness. It feels composed and orderly rather than expressive, projecting clarity and polish suitable for refined communication.
The design appears intended as a plainspoken slab-serif workhorse with a lighter-than-usual color, emphasizing readability, orderly rhythm, and a modern, minimal finish while retaining the stabilizing cues of slab serifs.
The thin strokes and crisp slab terminals suggest best performance where printing or rendering is clean and sizes are not too small, as the delicate detailing could soften in low-resolution or highly absorbent conditions.
