A very delicate slab serif with hairline strokes and crisp, unbracketed rectangular serifs. Curves are smooth and nearly monoline, while terminals and joins stay sharp, giving the design a clean, engineered finish. Proportions feel moderately narrow and evenly spaced, with tall ascenders/descenders and a light, open texture. Numerals are similarly thin and geometric, maintaining the same straight-sided, slab-ended rhythm across the set.
Best suited for display and editorial applications where a light slab serif can add sophistication without visual heaviness—magazine titles, chapter heads, pull quotes, cultural posters, and premium brand touchpoints. It can also work for short passages when set generously with comfortable spacing and adequate size.
The overall tone is understated and refined, balancing a classic editorial sensibility with a contemporary, minimal presence. Its thin strokes and disciplined serifing read as poised and intellectual rather than ornate or playful.
The design appears intended to merge the clarity and structure of a slab serif with an ultra-light, contemporary drawing, creating a distinctive high-end voice that feels both literary and modern.
In text settings the hairline weight creates a very bright page color and emphasizes vertical rhythm, while the square serifs add structure and a subtle architectural flavor. The design’s sharp corners and fine horizontals suggest it will look most at home at larger sizes or in high-contrast reproduction contexts.
