A delicate serif design with crisp, square-ended slab-like terminals and minimal stroke modulation. The letterforms are drawn with an even, airy color and generous internal space, with open apertures and clean joins that keep shapes readable at text sizes. Capitals feel classical and restrained, while the lowercase shows simple, readable constructions (single-storey a and g) and tall ascenders that contribute to a light, vertical rhythm. Numerals are similarly lean and straightforward, maintaining the same clean terminal logic and consistent spacing.
Well-suited to editorial typography where a light, elegant serif texture is desired, such as books, magazines, essays, and long-form reading. It can also work for captions, pull quotes, and refined UI or document typography when a crisp, composed serif voice is needed.
The overall tone is quiet and bookish, combining a traditional serif presence with a pared-back, modern neatness. Its thin strokes and squared terminals give it a composed, slightly technical refinement rather than overt warmth or flourish.
The design appears intended to provide a lightly weighted serif with slab-like clarity and clean, squared finishing, offering a contemporary take on classical proportions. It aims for legibility and typographic restraint, producing a calm text color and a polished, editorial character.
Square terminals and slab-like feet are kept subtle, creating a clear serif signal without heavy emphasis. The texture in paragraph setting appears even and unshowy, with punctuation and diacritics drawn to match the same understated, fine-line weight.
