A very light, monolinear slab serif with crisp, unbracketed terminals and a clean, open rhythm. The serifs read as small horizontal slabs with squared joins, giving the design a structured skeleton despite the delicate stroke weight. Curves are smooth and controlled, counters are generous, and spacing feels even and calm, supporting long lines of text without visual clutter.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazine features, book interiors, and refined brand systems where a light, structured serif can add sophistication without heaviness. It can also work for packaging and invitations when set at comfortable sizes with sufficient contrast against the background.
The overall tone is restrained and elegant, balancing a contemporary lightness with a subtle bookish formality. Its thin strokes and precise slabs create a poised, minimalist impression that feels more editorial than overtly vintage.
The design appears intended to deliver a delicate, contemporary slab-serif voice: maintaining the clarity and alignment cues of slabs while minimizing weight for an elegant, high-end feel in text and headline settings.
Uppercase forms appear relatively tall and narrow with a consistent, quiet cadence, while the lowercase maintains clear differentiation between similar shapes (e.g., i/l, c/e) through simple terminals and open apertures. Numerals match the light, linear construction, staying understated and text-friendly rather than display-oriented.
