A very delicate slab-serif with hairline strokes and crisp, square terminals. Serifs are flat and unbracketed, reading as neat horizontal and vertical slabs that keep the structure tidy without adding much weight. Proportions are classical with generous sidebearings and open bowls; curves are smooth and circular while joins stay clean and minimally detailed. The lowercase shows a measured rhythm with a two-storey g, a simple single-storey a, and slender stems throughout, while numerals are equally thin and airy with clear differentiation.
Works best where a refined slab-serif texture is desired at display sizes—magazine headlines, book covers, section openers, pull quotes, and high-end brand wordmarks. It can also suit elegant stationery or event materials, especially when printed with good reproduction and ample whitespace.
The overall tone is understated and elegant, leaning literary and editorial rather than loud or decorative. Its light touch and crisp slab cues suggest a modern, quietly sophisticated voice suited to restrained branding and polished typography.
The design appears intended to merge the clarity and geometry of an unbracketed slab-serif with an unusually light, high-airiness execution. It prioritizes a polished, contemporary editorial feel, aiming for crispness and sophistication through minimal stroke weight and disciplined terminals.
Because the strokes are extremely thin, the type will appear more fragile at small sizes or in low-resolution contexts, while it becomes striking and spacious when given room to breathe. The wide, open shapes in the sample text keep paragraphs feeling light and composed despite the strong vertical emphasis of the slabs.
