A very light slab serif with crisp, unbracketed terminals and a clean, disciplined construction. Strokes are fine and even, with moderate contrast that reads mainly through delicate horizontals versus slightly stronger verticals. The serifs are flat and square, giving the design a structured, architectural feel despite the airy weight. Letterforms are wide with generous internal space; rounds are smooth and open, and curves resolve into straight terminals with a sharp, precise finish. Lowercase shows a tall x-height and long extenders, keeping text clear at larger sizes while maintaining a distinctly slender line.
Best suited to headlines and larger-size editorial typography where the fine strokes and open shapes can remain crisp. It also works well for branding, fashion or cultural materials, and elegant invitations where a structured slab-serif presence is desired without visual heaviness.
The overall tone is poised and understated, balancing classic bookish formality with a contemporary lightness. Its hairline presence and wide proportions suggest elegance and restraint, suited to calm, polished typography rather than loud display impact.
The design appears intended to merge the firmness and clarity of unbracketed slabs with an unusually light, spacious drawing, producing a refined display face that stays legible and orderly while feeling modern and elevated.
In text, the wide set and open counters create a bright, spacious rhythm, while the slab serifs add a consistent baseline and cap-line emphasis. Numerals follow the same light, wide treatment, staying crisp and minimal with clear, straight terminals.
