A very thin, monoline slab serif with generous sidebearings and a steady, even rhythm across letters. Serifs are small, flat, and minimally bracketed, giving a crisp, constructed feel rather than calligraphic modulation. Curves are clean and open, counters stay roomy, and terminals remain straightforward, producing a consistent texture in both capitals and lowercase. The overall drawing favors clarity and regularity, with a light footprint and a calm, measured cadence in text.
Well-suited to code-like settings, tables, and technical documentation where regular letter widths and a consistent rhythm help scanning and alignment. It also works for editorial display, headings, and short passages at comfortable sizes when a light, refined slab-serif texture is desired.
The tone is restrained and precise, balancing a bookish, editorial polish with a slightly technical, schematic character. Its hairline weight and tidy slab details create an understated elegance that reads as modern and disciplined rather than decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver a clean, workmanlike slab-serif voice with minimal ornament, prioritizing consistency, alignment, and a calm reading rhythm. Its very light construction suggests use where a delicate, unobtrusive typographic presence is preferred.
The spacing and regular widths create an orderly grid-like impression, and the thin strokes keep pages looking bright even at larger sizes. Numerals match the same linear, restrained construction, maintaining a cohesive voice across mixed alphanumeric settings.
