A condensed slab serif with very thin, consistent strokes and sharp, rectangular serifs. The overall texture is tall and airy, with long ascenders and descenders and a restrained, linear rhythm that keeps the page color light. Curves are narrow and controlled, terminals stay clean, and spacing reads fairly tight in display sizes, reinforcing a vertical, elegant silhouette.
Best suited to headlines and short-to-medium editorial settings where a light, condensed slab can add structure without adding weight. It can work well for magazine titles, book-cover typography, pull quotes, and refined brand lockups where vertical elegance and a crisp serif presence are desired.
The font conveys a quiet, editorial sophistication—calm and precise rather than loud. Its slim proportions and crisp slabs feel literary and somewhat formal, with a minimalist, modern restraint that suits careful, composed typography.
The design appears intended to provide a slim, space-efficient slab serif voice that stays clean and understated while still reading as distinctly serif. Its consistent stroke behavior and disciplined proportions suggest a focus on editorial clarity and a refined, contemporary take on a classic slab foundation.
The caps are notably tall and narrow, and several forms show a gently elongated, almost monoline construction that emphasizes verticality. Numerals match the same slender, high-contrast-avoiding logic, keeping figures understated and consistent with the text tone.
