A slender, monoline slab serif with unbracketed, rectangular terminals and a notably open, spacious build. The strokes stay even in weight with minimal modulation, while the proportions run wide with generous sidebearings and broad bowls. Serifs are flat and crisp, creating a calm horizontal rhythm across capitals and strong baseline definition in text. Lowercase forms show a tall x-height and rounded, open counters, producing a clean, breathable texture; the numerals echo the same light, linear construction with clear, geometric curves.
Well-suited to editorial settings where a light slab serif can add structure without darkening the page—magazine headlines, pull quotes, and refined display typography. Its open shapes and calm rhythm also fit book covers and brand wordmarks that want a classic-but-clean serif presence.
The overall tone is composed and editorial, pairing an old-style bookish presence with a contemporary lightness. Its wide stance and restrained detailing give it a refined, slightly formal voice that feels measured rather than decorative.
Likely intended as a modern, light slab serif that preserves the clarity and discipline of unbracketed serifs while expanding the letterforms for a more open, contemporary texture. The design emphasizes even stroke behavior, generous proportions, and a steady reading rhythm for polished editorial use.
In the sample text, the wide letterforms and generous spacing create an airy color and a steady reading rhythm. The crisp slab endings add structure without heaviness, making the design feel precise and orderly at larger text sizes.
