A very light, crisp slab-serif with unbracketed, squared terminals and a predominantly monoline feel. The serifs read as small, flat ledges, giving the design a structured baseline and cap-line presence while keeping the overall color extremely open. Proportions are slightly condensed in places with tall ascenders and a clean, orderly rhythm; curves are smooth and restrained, and joins stay sharp rather than calligraphic. Numerals and punctuation match the same fine stroke and tidy geometry, maintaining a consistent, minimal texture in text.
Best suited to large sizes where its hairline strokes and crisp slabs can be appreciated—magazine headlines, lookbooks, book and album titles, refined packaging, and boutique brand identities. It can work for short text in high-quality print or on bright, high-resolution screens, where its light color remains legible.
The face conveys a quiet, refined tone—cool, composed, and lightly academic. Its thin strokes and precise slab details suggest modern editorial sophistication rather than rustic or heavy industrial slab energy.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif proportions with a minimalist slab-serif treatment, creating a poised display text face that feels both structured and delicate. The emphasis is on elegance, precision, and spacious texture rather than strong typographic weight.
At text sizes the strokes appear exceptionally fine, producing a pale page color and emphasizing vertical structure. The letterforms keep classical skeletons (notably in the capitals) while the unbracketed slabs and tight detailing lend a contemporary, design-forward finish.
