A lightly built slab serif with clean, monoline-like stems and a notably open, spacious rhythm. Serifs are square and understated, often with gentle bracketing that softens joins rather than making them abrupt. Curves are drawn with generous, near-circular bowls (notably in C/O/Q), while horizontals stay thin and even, producing a crisp, uncluttered texture in text. Uppercase proportions feel classical and steady, paired with a small-cap-like, tall lowercase that keeps counters large and readable; numerals are similarly open and simple, with minimal ornamentation.
Well-suited to editorial typography where a light, refined slab serif can add structure without adding heaviness—magazine features, book interiors, and cultured headlines. The open shapes also make it a good candidate for brand systems that want a modern, minimal serif voice with a subtle nod to print tradition.
The overall tone is composed and editorial, combining a contemporary lightness with a quietly traditional, print-leaning sensibility. It feels intellectual and measured rather than loud, projecting clarity and restraint with a hint of bookish elegance.
The design appears intended as a straightforward, versatile slab serif that reads cleanly while maintaining a distinct serifed silhouette. Its light build and open forms suggest a focus on elegant editorial color and modern restraint rather than rugged or overtly industrial slab character.
In continuous text the letterspacing and large counters create a bright page color, while the slab terminals provide enough structure to keep lines from feeling fragile. The design stays consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, prioritizing uniformity and calm rhythm over display eccentricity.
