A very slender slab-serif with crisp, square-ended terminals and largely unbracketed joins. Strokes are even and delicate, producing an airy texture and a clean, consistent rhythm across lines. The uppercase shows classical proportions with wide, open counters, while the lowercase keeps simple, readable forms with modest extenders and a tidy, single-storey ‘g’. Numerals are light and neatly drawn, matching the font’s restrained, linear construction.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazine features, book interiors, and pull quotes where a light, refined texture is desired. It can also support boutique branding, packaging, and refined headings when set at sizes that preserve its delicate stroke weight.
The overall tone is poised and understated, combining a literary, bookish sensibility with a modern lightness. Its sharp slab details add structure without feeling heavy, creating a composed, premium voice suited to quiet sophistication rather than bold display.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, minimalist take on a slab-serif voice: structured and typographically classic in silhouette, yet intentionally light and crisp to create a premium, spacious reading texture.
In text, the thin strokes and crisp serifs create a bright page color and a slightly formal cadence. Large apertures and open bowls help clarity, but the extremely light weight suggests it will look best with generous size or comfortable contrast against the background.
