A very slender, monolinear serif with flat, square-ended slab-like terminals and a consistently light stroke throughout. The letterforms are upright with generous spacing and open counters, producing a clean, measured rhythm in text. Serifs read as short, straight caps on stems and arms, and curves stay smooth and circular without pronounced modulation. Uppercase proportions feel stately and narrow-to-moderate in footprint, while the lowercase maintains a straightforward, bookish construction with simple two-storey forms where applicable and tidy punctuation.
Well suited to display typography where its thin strokes and crisp slab terminals can be appreciated—magazine headlines, editorial pull quotes, lookbooks, boutique branding, and premium packaging. It can also work for short text passages when set with ample size and leading, where the airy rhythm supports a refined, contemporary page color.
The overall tone is quiet and elegant, with an airy, gallery-like refinement that feels modern in its restraint. Its hairline presence and crisp terminals create a composed, minimal impression that can skew luxurious or archival depending on layout and spacing.
The design appears aimed at delivering a minimalist slab-serif voice with a distinctly lightweight, high-end feel—pairing straightforward, readable structures with an intentionally delicate stroke to create an elegant display tool for modern editorial and brand systems.
In the sample text, the light build emphasizes whitespace and line breaks, making the face feel best when given room. The numerals and capitals appear especially delicate, and fine joins and terminals suggest it will read most confidently at larger sizes or in high-resolution settings.
