A delicate slab-serif design with fine hairlines and crisp, squared terminals that read as small, bracketless slabs. Strokes show noticeable thick–thin modulation, especially in rounded letters, while verticals stay clean and steady. Proportions are moderately narrow with a measured rhythm and open counters; curves are smooth and controlled. The lowercase has a traditional, text-oriented construction (single-storey forms like a and g are visible), and the overall spacing feels even and composed in paragraph setting.
Well suited to editorial work such as magazines, book typography, and refined longform layouts where a light slab-serif voice adds structure without heaviness. It can also serve for headlines, pull quotes, and brand wordmarks that want a classic, cultured feel with a slightly sharper, more contemporary finish than oldstyle serifs.
The font conveys a poised, literary tone—quietly elegant rather than loud or industrial. Its light touch and sharp details feel cultivated and editorial, suggesting careful typesetting and a classic print sensibility.
The design appears intended as a versatile slab-serif for reading and editorial systems, combining clear, traditional letter construction with a lighter, more polished texture. Its contrast and crisp slabs suggest a focus on elegance and typographic refinement rather than ruggedness or overt industrial character.
At display sizes the thin horizontals and small slab terminals look particularly crisp, while in running text the design maintains a tidy, unobtrusive texture. Numerals appear similarly light and refined, matching the letterforms’ restrained contrast and finishing.
