A very light slab serif with crisp, squared terminals and a clean, even rhythm. Strokes remain mostly uniform with only subtle modulation, and the serifs read as flat and controlled rather than bracketed or calligraphic. Proportions are moderate with generous counters and open apertures, helping the thin strokes stay legible at display sizes. The lowercase shows a traditional, two-storey “g” and a looped-descender “y,” while figures are lining and similarly light, giving the set a consistent, understated texture.
Best suited to headlines, titles, pull quotes, and other display applications where its fine strokes and open forms can breathe. It can add a poised, typographic voice to branding and packaging, and it works well for editorial settings when set at sufficiently large sizes with ample leading.
The overall tone is quiet and literary—more refined than rustic—suggesting a careful, editorial sensibility. Its light weight and crisp slab endings feel composed and slightly formal without becoming ornate or nostalgic.
Likely designed to deliver a straightforward slab serif voice in an unusually light, elegant weight—combining the steady geometry of slabs with a refined, minimal presence for modern editorial and identity use.
Spacing appears comfortable and regular, and the thin horizontals and hairline-like joins create a bright page color. The serif treatment is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, reinforcing a coherent, workmanlike structure despite the delicate stroke weight.
