A very light slab-serif with generous spacing and a calm, even rhythm. Strokes are thin and consistent, with subtle modulation that reads as mostly monoline, and the serifs are slab-like but lightly bracketed rather than blunt. The capitals are clean and classical in construction, while the lowercase mixes compact forms with open counters and restrained terminals. Curves are smooth and round (notably in O, C, and the numerals), and joins stay crisp, giving the face a tidy, precise texture at text sizes.
Works well for editorial and book applications where a light slab serif can add structure without heaviness. It also suits magazine typography, refined branding, and packaging that needs a crisp, cultivated voice while maintaining legibility in longer passages.
The overall tone is understated and literate, with an editorial polish that feels measured rather than decorative. Its thin, airy color and slab-serif grounding suggest a contemporary take on classic book typography—quietly confident, clear, and refined.
The design appears intended as a straightforward, modern workhorse slab-serif with a delicate footprint—bringing the stability of slab serifs to text and display settings without adding visual weight or strong eccentricities.
The sample text shows stable word shapes and consistent alignment, with digits that match the letterforms in lightness and openness. The design favors clarity over personality, using controlled details (small brackets, straight terminals, open bowls) to keep the texture smooth and readable.
