A very light slab serif with crisp, hairline-like strokes and a steady, upright stance. Serifs are flat and squared, reading as neat, blocky terminals rather than bracketed wedges, which gives the outlines a precise, engineered feel. Curves are open and smoothly drawn with minimal contrast, while joins and corners stay clean and controlled. Proportions feel generously set with roomy counters and measured spacing, producing an overall airy texture in text.
Best suited to editorial headlines, pull quotes, and other large-size applications where its fine slabs and clean curves can be appreciated. It can also serve brand identities and packaging that want a modern, pared-back serif voice with a hint of typographic formality. For extended passages, it will generally perform better in larger point sizes and well-printed or high-resolution environments.
The tone is quiet and composed, mixing editorial polish with a modern, minimal sensibility. Its thin strokes and tidy slab details suggest sophistication and restraint rather than warmth or exuberance. The result feels refined and “designed,” suited to settings where subtle personality is preferred over heavy emphasis.
The design appears intended as a contemporary, lightweight slab serif that balances clarity with a subtle, structured personality. By keeping contrast low and terminals squared, it aims for a clean, dependable texture while still signaling serif tradition through unmistakable slab endings.
In the sample text, the thin horizontals and slab terminals create a delicate rhythm that remains orderly at larger sizes, while the light weight will call for considerate size and contrast in longer reading situations. Numerals follow the same restrained, linear approach, with simple, clear shapes and consistent terminal treatment.
