A very light slab-serif with fine, even strokes and delicately bracketed rectangular serifs. Proportions feel traditional and moderately condensed, with open counters and a steady vertical axis. Curves are smooth and controlled, terminals are crisp, and the overall rhythm is calm and regular across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
Works well for editorial settings such as magazines, essays, and pull quotes where a light serif texture is desired. It can also support refined branding and packaging when set at comfortable sizes and with sufficient contrast against the background.
The tone is classic and literary, with a restrained, refined presence that reads as careful and cultured rather than loud or decorative. Its thin strokes and gentle serif treatment give it a light, thoughtful voice suitable for measured, elegant typography.
Designed as a straightforward, readable slab-serif with a gentle, contemporary lightness—aiming for dependable text performance while keeping a crisp, elegant surface texture.
The lowercase shows a familiar book-face structure with a two-storey “g” and “a,” while numerals appear similarly light and consistent, including a looped “2” and an “8” with balanced bowls. In running text the thin serifs remain visible, contributing a subtle texture without strong contrast shifts.
