A light, monoline-leaning slab serif with fine strokes, generous counters, and carefully bracketed square serifs. The proportions feel classical and slightly condensed in the capitals, with smooth, round bowls (C, O, Q) and crisp terminals that keep the texture clean at text sizes. Lowercase forms are open and readable, with a two-storey a and g, a compact, neatly notched t, and a modestly curved ear on the g. Numerals are elegant and restrained, with thin horizontals and clear, even rhythm across the set.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as books, essays, and magazine layouts where a light, refined slab serif can add structure without heavy weight. It also fits branding, packaging, and headline systems that want a classic serif voice with clean, contemporary spacing and an airy page color.
The overall tone is polished and literary, projecting quiet confidence rather than loud display. Its light color and crisp slab details suggest an editorial sensibility—measured, tidy, and slightly formal—without feeling rigid or mechanical.
The design appears intended as a dependable, neutral slab serif for continuous reading and composed display, balancing traditional serif cues with a light stroke and tidy geometry to maintain clarity and elegance.
The family shows consistent serif treatment across capitals, lowercase, and figures, creating an even typographic color in paragraphs. Curves are drawn smoothly with minimal calligraphic modulation, while the serifs and small brackets add a subtle, traditional finish.
