A very thin, monoline slab serif with generous spacing and a clean, open rhythm. Strokes stay consistently light across curves and straights, with small bracketed slab terminals that read crisp but not abrupt. Uppercase forms are straightforward and classical in proportion, while the lowercase shows a tall x-height with round, evenly drawn bowls and smooth joins. Numerals follow the same delicate construction, with clear, open counters and minimal contrast between verticals and horizontals.
Works best where a light, polished slab serif texture is desired—editorial headlines, magazine layouts, pull quotes, and upscale brand applications. In longer passages it creates a bright, airy color, making it especially suited to large-size text or well-printed environments where fine strokes can hold.
The overall tone is poised and understated—more gallery and editorial than industrial. Its hairline weight and ample air give it a quiet sophistication, while the slab serifs add a subtle, bookish authority without feeling heavy or mechanical.
The design appears intended as a contemporary, minimalist slab serif that combines classical letter structure with a delicate, fashion-forward weight. It prioritizes clarity and refinement over ruggedness, offering a restrained serif presence for elegant typographic systems.
Circular letters (like O/o) are notably round and clean, and the serifs remain consistent across the set, helping maintain a uniform texture in longer text. The light weight emphasizes whitespace and can make punctuation and fine details feel delicate at smaller sizes.
