A very delicate slab serif with monoline, hairline strokes and crisp, unbracketed rectangular serifs. The design leans on clean geometry: round bowls are smooth and nearly circular, while stems remain straight and evenly weighted, creating a quiet, consistent rhythm. Capitals are narrow and airy with modest internal space, and lowercase forms are open and measured; counters stay generous despite the thin weight. Overall spacing reads on the loose side, helping the fine strokes avoid crowding in text.
Best suited to editorial applications where elegance and whitespace are assets—magazine headlines, pull quotes, book titles, and refined branding. It can also work for invitations or packaging where a thin slab serif adds structure without visual heaviness; for longer text, it benefits from comfortable sizes and ample leading to preserve its hairline clarity.
The tone is poised and understated, with a bookish, editorial feel. Its thin strokes and crisp slabs evoke a refined, classical sensibility rather than a rugged or industrial one, lending a gentle sophistication to headlines and short passages.
The design appears intended to reinterpret slab-serif structure through a very light, monoline lens—pairing crisp, square serifs with refined proportions to achieve a polished, contemporary-classic reading experience.
Distinctive details include the very fine, flat serifs and a light, engraved-like presence in the sample text. Curves and terminals stay controlled and minimal, and the numerals follow the same restrained, linear construction for a cohesive set.
