A very light slab serif with crisp, finely drawn strokes and small, square-ended serifs that read as restrained slabs. Curves are smooth and open, with a slightly calligraphic flavor in a few joins and terminals, while overall construction stays clean and upright. Proportions feel moderately tall with generous counters, and spacing appears even, producing a pale, airy text color. Numerals and lowercase show subtle individuality (notably in the bowls and tails) while maintaining consistent rhythm across the set.
Well-suited to editorial settings such as magazines, book interiors, and literary layouts where a refined slab serif can add structure without heaviness. It can also support premium branding and packaging when set at medium-to-large sizes, where the thin strokes and crisp serifs read cleanly.
The tone is quiet and sophisticated, leaning more editorial than industrial despite the slab structure. Its lightness and tidy detailing suggest a measured, cultured voice—appropriate for elegant typography rather than loud display.
Likely intended to offer the steadiness and clarity associated with slab serifs, but in an unusually light, elegant register. The design balances straightforward letterforms with just enough softness in curves and terminals to feel polished and contemporary.
The serif treatment is minimal and controlled, giving the face a composed, contemporary finish while preserving a traditional serif silhouette. The sample text shows good line-to-line regularity and a smooth reading cadence at larger sizes where the delicate strokes remain clear.
