A delicate hairline slab serif with unbracketed, rectangular terminals and a lightly calligraphic slant. Strokes stay consistently thin, with crisp joins and a steady, even rhythm across text. The serif treatment is small but emphatic—flat feet and caps give structure while the thin stems keep the overall color open. Proportions feel traditional and slightly narrow in the rounds, with smooth curves and restrained detailing that reads cleanly at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, and short-to-medium editorial settings where its hairline weight and crisp slabs can stay sharp. It works well for magazine mastheads, book covers, gallery or boutique branding, and packaging that benefits from a refined, high-end typographic voice. For long body text, it will generally prefer larger sizes and careful reproduction to preserve its thin strokes.
The tone is poised and literary, pairing classical formality with a modern, airy lightness. Its slanted posture adds a quiet elegance rather than exuberant motion, giving text a composed, editorial feel. Overall it communicates refinement, restraint, and a bookish sophistication.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic slab serif: maintaining strong, square serif signatures while reducing stroke mass to an elegant hairline. The slight italic posture and controlled proportions suggest a focus on sophisticated display typography with clear, structured letterforms.
Uppercase forms show clear slab cues in the horizontal endings, while lowercase shapes remain simple and readable, keeping counters open and spacing generous for such a light design. Numerals are slender and graceful, aligning with the font’s delicate texture and emphasizing a premium, fashion-like cadence in headlines.
