A very light, hairline slab-serif design with crisp, unbracketed rectangular serifs and predominantly monolinear strokes. The letterforms are generously spaced with open counters and smooth, near-circular bowls, giving the face a clean, breathable texture. Curves meet straights with a precise, drawn-with-a-rule feel, while the thin horizontals and delicate terminals keep the overall color pale on the page. Numerals follow the same restrained construction, with clear, simple shapes and ample interior space.
Well suited to editorial headlines, book and magazine covers, fashion and beauty branding, and invitation or stationery work where a delicate, upscale tone is desired. It can also function for short paragraphs in print when given sufficient size and contrast, performing best in layouts that can support its airy stroke weight.
The font conveys a quiet, refined tone—delicate and composed rather than forceful. Its thin slabs and open rhythm suggest editorial elegance and a slightly academic, library-like sensibility with a modern, minimalist finish.
The design appears intended to blend classic slab-serif structure with a contemporary, ultra-refined thinness, prioritizing elegance and clarity of silhouette over heavy typographic color. Its consistent, unbracketed serif treatment and open proportions point toward a display-to-editorial role in curated, high-contrast settings.
In text, the very light strokes and fine serifs create a distinctly high-end look, but the pale typographic color can feel fragile at smaller sizes or on low-contrast backgrounds. The design’s geometry and consistent detailing give it a neat, orderly presence across both capitals and lowercase.
