This typeface is a very light slab serif with crisp, squared terminals and subtly bracketed serifs. Strokes are fine and even, with gently modulated contrast most noticeable on curved forms, giving counters a clean, open feel. The proportions run on the broad side, with generous sidebearings and a calm, steady rhythm in text. Round letters are near-circular and smooth, while capitals keep simple, classical constructions and a restrained, straight-backed stance.
It suits editorial display work, magazine typography, and book or chapter titling where a light slab serif can add structure without heaviness. It can also work for refined branding and packaging when a crisp, understated serif voice is desired, especially in larger sizes and with comfortable tracking.
The overall tone is quiet and composed, leaning toward an elegant, editorial sensibility rather than rugged or overtly mechanical. Its hairline weight and roomy spacing create a delicate, upscale presence that reads as measured and thoughtful.
The design appears intended as a straightforward, legible slab serif with a refined, lightweight palette—combining the stability of squared serifs with an airy, contemporary color for elegant text and display settings.
Details like the two-storey g, the modestly curved legs and tails (notably on R and Q), and the clear, uncompressed numerals contribute to a traditional text-serif flavor while keeping the silhouette clean and modern. The very thin horizontals and fine serifs suggest it will look best when given sufficient size and contrast against the background.
