A very light, monoline serif with rounded slab-style terminals and a clean, even rhythm. Strokes maintain consistent weight with minimal contrast, while the serifs read as small, softened blocks rather than sharp wedges. Proportions are open and readable, with generous counters and smooth curves; the overall texture is airy and delicate, producing a quiet, elegant page color in text.
Well suited for editorial typography such as books, essays, magazines, and long-form reading where a light, refined serif texture is desired. It also works for invitations, boutique branding, and packaging that benefits from a classic voice with softened edges, and for UI or navigation text at comfortable sizes where a gentle, low-contrast serif is appropriate.
This typeface feels calm, literary, and slightly old-world, with a gentle friendliness that comes from its softened, slab-like finishing. The tone is refined but approachable, suggesting editorial seriousness without harshness.
The design appears intended to combine the structure and stability of a slab-serif skeleton with softer, rounded finishing to keep long passages feeling light and welcoming. Its consistent stroke weight and restrained detailing prioritize clarity and an even typographic color over dramatic display effects.
The italic is not shown; the sample demonstrates a clean roman with smooth joins, rounded punctuation, and numerals that match the airy, linear construction. The overall feeling is more graceful than assertive, with serifs that remain clearly present but never heavy.
