This typeface presents a delicate slab-serif construction with fine hairline stems and clearly bracketed, squared serifs. Contrast is noticeable: verticals read slightly stronger than the thinnest horizontals and curves, giving an elegant, drawn quality without becoming calligraphic. Proportions are moderately narrow with generous sidebearings in the sample text, producing an open, airy rhythm. The lowercase uses a single-storey “a” and “g,” round bowls, and simple terminals; ascenders are tall and straight, while numerals appear lightly built with smooth curves and restrained detailing.
It works well for editorial settings such as magazines, book interiors, and pull quotes where a light serif voice is desired. The refined slabs also suit branding, packaging, and short-form typography (headlines, captions) that benefits from a traditional but clean serif silhouette.
Overall, the tone is restrained and literary—quietly formal rather than decorative. The light color on the page and tidy serif structure suggest a classic, cultivated feel suited to polished communication.
The design appears intended as a practical, readable slab serif with a refined, lightweight color—combining sturdy serif structure with a more elegant, high-contrast drawing for contemporary editorial use.
The slab serifs are consistent across caps and lowercase, staying crisp at joins while remaining slightly softened by bracketing. Round letters (C, O, Q, e) maintain smooth, even curvature, and diagonals (V, W, Y) keep a clean, controlled presence without heavy stroke endings.
