A very light slab-serif with generous width and open counters, built from clean, low-contrast strokes. Serifs are square and unbracketed, giving terminals a crisp, architectural finish while the thin weight keeps the overall color pale and refined. The rhythm is spacious, with smooth curves in round letters and long horizontals that emphasize the extended proportions; lowercase forms remain legible with simple, straightforward construction.
Best suited to display typography where its thin strokes and wide proportions can breathe—magazine headlines, book jackets, pull quotes, posters, and branding wordmarks that want a cultivated slab-serif flavor. It can also work for short editorial passages or captions in spacious layouts, though the very light weight benefits from adequate size and contrast in production.
This typeface feels airy and poised, with a calm, composed tone that reads as quietly confident rather than loud. Its wide stance and delicate stroke weight give it an elegant, slightly quirky literary character that can feel both contemporary and gently retro.
The design appears intended to provide a distinctive slab-serif voice without heaviness: a wide, lightly drawn structure that stays readable while adding character. It balances crisp, square serif endings with generous internal space to keep text looking open at larger sizes.
Uppercase and numerals present a particularly expansive silhouette, with the figures maintaining a light, elegant presence. Round letters stay smooth and open, while square serifs and flat terminals add a consistent, structured finish across the set.
