A light slab serif with bracketed, rectangular serifs and an overall clean, even rhythm. Strokes are slender and consistent, with gently rounded joins and open counters that keep the texture airy in continuous text. Proportions are slightly expanded, with ample sidebearings and a steady baseline feel; terminals and serifs stay crisp without becoming sharp or spiky. The lowercase shows traditional, readable forms with modest modulation in curves and a straightforward, workmanlike construction across letters and numerals.
Well-suited to long-form reading contexts such as books, magazines, and editorial layouts where an unobtrusive slab serif can provide structure without heaviness. It also fits reports and institutional materials that benefit from a clear, dependable voice, and it can work for headlines when a light, composed slab presence is desired.
The tone is restrained and editorial, combining a hint of classic book typography with a contemporary clarity. Its light color and generous spacing give it a calm, refined presence that feels careful and composed rather than loud or decorative.
The design appears intended as a plainspoken slab serif for comfortable reading: light in color, spacious in rhythm, and consistent in detailing. It balances traditional serif cues with a simplified, modern regularity to remain versatile across editorial and document settings.
In text, the spacing and open shapes produce a smooth gray value and avoid clumping, while the slab serifs add a subtle sense of structure and authority. Numerals appear clear and steady, matching the same understated, consistent detailing as the letters.
