A delicate slab serif with hairline strokes and subtly bracketed, flat-ended serifs that read clean and controlled. Proportions are compact and relatively narrow, with tall capitals and a steady vertical axis, producing an even, disciplined rhythm in text. Curves are smooth and open, counters stay clear at small sizes, and joins remain understated; overall spacing feels measured rather than loose. Numerals follow the same light, refined construction, with simple forms and minimal ornament.
It performs well in editorial contexts where a refined serif voice is needed—magazines, book interiors, and long-form reading at comfortable sizes. The light build also lends itself to high-end branding, packaging, invitations, and pull quotes where an elegant slab-serif character is desired without strong stroke contrast.
The tone is calm and polished, combining the authority of a slab-serif skeleton with a noticeably light, airy presence. It suggests quiet sophistication—suited to tasteful, contemporary editorial work rather than rugged or overtly industrial slab styling.
The design appears intended to provide a clean, contemporary slab-serif option with a lightweight, sophisticated texture—retaining the structural clarity of slabs while emphasizing delicacy and typographic poise.
Distinctive small details include gentle terminals and restrained serif treatment that keeps the face from feeling heavy despite the slab structure. The text sample shows consistent color across lines, with a smooth flow and little visual noise in mixed-case settings.
