A very slender slab serif with tall proportions, generous verticality, and a calm, even rhythm. Serifs read as small, squared slabs with subtle bracketing, giving terminals a crisp but not abrupt finish. Strokes stay relatively even throughout with only modest modulation, and counters are open, producing an airy texture in continuous text. The lowercase is restrained and traditional, with a two-storey “g” and compact, tidy joins that keep the overall color light and clean.
Well suited to editorial typography where a light, refined slab serif can add structure without heaviness—magazines, essays, and literary layouts in larger text sizes. It can also work for invitations, credits, and tasteful headlines where a delicate, classical slab presence is desired.
The tone is elegant and bookish, suggesting a careful, literary voice rather than loud display. Its thin, poised construction feels refined and slightly formal, with a quiet classicism that fits editorial settings.
The design appears intended as a clean, traditional slab serif that prioritizes an elegant, high-end texture while staying restrained and practical. It aims to deliver a familiar serif voice with a slimmer, more contemporary lightness for editorial and cultured display use.
In the sample text, the narrow set and delicate serifs create a bright page color and strong vertical emphasis. Numerals are similarly thin and tall, maintaining the same measured, understated character as the letters.
