A delicate slab-serif with thin, crisp strokes and lightly bracketed rectangular serifs that read cleanly at display sizes. The letterforms are upright with generous width and open counters, giving the texture an airy, even color despite the light weight. Curves are smooth and controlled, while horizontals and serifs stay straight and finely drawn; terminals are generally blunt but softened by subtle bracketing. Numerals and punctuation match the same restrained, linear construction, with modest modulation and consistent spacing that supports longer lines of text.
It performs well in editorial contexts such as magazine headings, pull quotes, and refined branding where a light, airy slab-serif voice is desired. The wide set and clean slab structure also suit book covers and large-size typography that benefits from an elegant, composed texture.
The overall tone is calm and polished, leaning literary and editorial rather than loud or decorative. Its light presence and orderly detailing evoke a contemporary take on classical print typography, suitable for sophisticated, understated settings.
The font appears designed to provide a straightforward slab-serif foundation with a noticeably light, refined drawing—balancing traditional serif cues with a modern, uncluttered rhythm. Its proportions and disciplined details suggest an intention to stay neutral and readable while still signaling editorial polish.
The design’s wide proportions and open apertures create a relaxed rhythm in paragraphs, while the thin serifs add structure without visual heaviness. It maintains a composed, workmanlike consistency across caps, lowercase, and figures, with just enough serif character to keep the page from feeling sterile.
