A hairline, highly condensed serif design with very tall proportions and a steady, low-variation stroke. Serifs read as small, square terminals that give the outlines a crisp, printed edge without adding much visual weight. Curves are narrow and verticalized, with compact bowls and tight counters; the overall rhythm is measured and columnar. Numerals follow the same elongated, minimal construction, keeping a consistent thinness and a clean, linear presence across the set.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, titling, and other display applications where its tall, delicate forms can be appreciated. It can work for editorial or packaging accents when paired with a sturdier text face, and it’s effective in branding where a refined, narrow wordmark is desired.
The tone is quiet and refined, with an airy, almost etched quality that feels literary and slightly eccentric. Its extreme slimness and height add a sense of formality and restraint, while the condensed shapes lend a subtle vintage-book or editorial flavor.
The design appears intended to deliver a distinctive, space-saving serif voice with a refined, linear texture—favoring elegance and vertical rhythm over robustness. Its square serif finishing adds structure to otherwise extremely light strokes, supporting a crisp, print-like character.
In text, the thin strokes and tight widths create a distinctive texture that emphasizes vertical strokes and whitespace. The small square serifs help letters stay legible at display sizes, but the overall feel remains light and fragile, especially in long lines or low-contrast printing situations.
