A very light slab serif with crisp, finely drawn strokes and small, bracketed serifs that read as delicate tabs rather than heavy blocks. The letterforms are upright and open, with generous counters and a measured, even rhythm across the alphabet. Curves are smooth and circular, while joins stay clean and controlled; terminals remain mostly straight with minimal flare. Numerals follow the same restrained construction, keeping a consistent thin stroke and tidy serif treatment that suits text and titling alike.
Well suited to editorial layouts, magazine typography, and book interiors where a refined slab voice is desired without heaviness. It can also work for branding and packaging that aims for a tasteful, literate impression, and for larger-size headings where the hairline strokes can read with clarity.
The overall tone is quiet and elegant, leaning toward an editorial, literary feel rather than overt display. Its thin, airy presence suggests sophistication and restraint, with a calm, composed rhythm that feels traditional without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended as a plainspoken, workhorse slab serif interpreted in a very light, elegant weight—prioritizing readability, steady rhythm, and a polished, modern finish over decorative gestures.
In the text sample, the light weight produces a spacious texture and a bright page color, with punctuation and small details staying subtle but precise. The design balances straight-sided stems with rounded bowls, giving it a gently classical character while remaining clean and contemporary in finish.
