A very light, wide-set slab serif with an oblique posture and a sleek, low-contrast stroke structure. Serifs read as crisp, unbracketed slabs that often flare gently from the stems, giving terminals a taut, architectural finish. Curves are broadly drawn and open, with generous counters and a calm horizontal rhythm; round letters like O and Q feel expansive, while E/F/T show long, level arms. The lowercase keeps a tall x-height and an even, steady cadence, with single-storey forms (notably a and g) and simple, linear joins that maintain clarity at display sizes. Numerals echo the same airy construction, using wide bowls and flat, slab-like feet where applicable.
Best suited for headlines, magazine and book display typography, fashion or cultural branding, and poster work where its wide stance and delicate slabs can read cleanly. It can also work for short pull quotes or titling, especially when paired with a simpler text face for longer passages.
The overall tone is poised and stylish, combining modern restraint with a subtle retro/Art Deco elegance. Its lightness and width create a breezy, upscale feel, while the sharp slabs add a confident, editorial edge rather than a rustic or heavy industrial one.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary display slab with a refined, spacious typographic color—prioritizing elegance and horizontal sweep over dense text economy—while keeping forms crisp and consistent through square, unbracketed slab terminals.
In text settings the wide proportions and thin strokes emphasize whitespace and line length, producing a distinctive, calm texture. The oblique slant is consistent across cases and figures, and the slab terminals stay crisp, helping maintain structure even with the delicate weight.
