A delicate slab-serif with hairline strokes and compact, squared serifs softened by subtle bracketing. Curves are clean and open, with restrained modulation and a measured, even rhythm across text. Proportions feel balanced and slightly classical: wide round forms, steady verticals, and calm spacing that keeps paragraphs light and readable. Details like the double-storey “a,” single-storey “g,” and the tidy, lightly flared joins contribute to an orderly, editorial texture.
Well suited to editorial settings where a light, sophisticated serif texture is desired—magazines, book interiors, essays, and refined brand typography. It can also work for invitations and packaging where a soft, cultured impression is important, especially at comfortable reading sizes with ample leading.
The overall tone is quiet and elegant, with an airy refinement that reads as modern yet rooted in traditional book typography. Its thin strokes and gentle serif shaping give it a composed, courteous voice suited to understated communication rather than loud display.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, minimalist take on slab serifs—prioritizing clarity and a polished page rhythm while keeping the presence gentle and unforced. Its fine strokes and restrained detailing suggest a focus on elegance and readability rather than heavy emphasis.
The design maintains consistent stroke weight and serif treatment across caps and lowercase, producing a cohesive, uncluttered page color. Numerals are slender and clear, matching the text’s light footprint and contributing to a precise, typographic feel in running copy.
