A delicate slab-serif with hairline strokes, crisp terminals, and lightly bracketed rectangular serifs. The letterforms are open and evenly proportioned with a restrained, classical rhythm, showing smooth curves (notably in C, G, O, Q) and precise joins. Capitals feel tall and stately with generous interior counters, while the lowercase maintains a steady, readable texture with modest ascenders/descenders and clean, unembellished construction. Numerals match the light, precise color and appear designed for text rather than display heft.
Well-suited to editorial typography, book or long-form passages where a sophisticated, quiet voice is desired, and to magazine headlines or pull quotes at moderate sizes. It can also serve in formal branding and invitation materials when a light, elegant serif presence is needed.
The overall tone is refined and composed, evoking literary and editorial settings. Its thin, precise strokes and orderly spacing convey elegance and restraint rather than warmth or playfulness.
The design appears intended to provide a polished slab-serif voice with strong typographic discipline—combining the authority of slab serifs with an unusually fine stroke weight for a light, upscale feel.
In text, the very light weight produces an airy page color and benefits from ample size and comfortable leading. The hairline serifs and thin joins create a crisp, engraved-like impression that can feel especially polished on high-resolution output.
