A very delicate slab serif with thin, even strokes and crisp, bracketed rectangular serifs. The design leans on classical, oldstyle proportions with a noticeably modest x-height, tall ascenders, and generous interior counters that keep forms airy. Curves are smoothly drawn and largely monoline, while joins stay clean and controlled; terminals are mostly flat and serifed, giving the face a composed, structured rhythm. Numerals follow the same light, elegant treatment with open shapes and restrained detailing.
Well suited to editorial settings where a light, cultured slab serif can add structure without heaviness—magazine headlines, pull quotes, and refined brand typography. It can also work for book jackets and invitations where elegance is prioritized and sizes are large enough to preserve the thin details.
The overall tone is poised and literary, projecting a quiet confidence rather than loud display. Its fine serifs and spacious forms suggest an editorial, bookish sensibility—polished and traditional, with a gentle modern cleanliness.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a traditional slab serif voice in a distinctly light, polished manner—combining strong, squared serifs with airy proportions to achieve refinement and readability in display and high-quality text contexts.
At text sizes the extremely fine strokes and hairline serifs create a bright page color and a slightly fragile feel, while larger sizes emphasize the refined detailing and generous spacing. The italic is not shown; the sample demonstrates a steady, consistent roman texture with clear word shapes.
