A very slender slab-serif with hairline strokes and crisp, bracketless rectangular serifs. The design is strongly condensed, with tall proportions, narrow bowls, and tight interior counters that create a vertical, columnar rhythm. Curves are smooth and controlled, terminals are clean, and the monoline feel is reinforced by minimal modulation and consistent stroke endings. Numerals follow the same narrow, upright construction, keeping an even texture in running text.
Best suited to display applications where its condensed width and sharp slab serifs can create a strong vertical rhythm—headlines, subheads, magazine layouts, and refined branding. It can also work for short bursts of copy when a light, airy texture is desired, especially where space is limited horizontally.
The overall tone is quiet and refined, leaning toward a fashionable, editorial elegance rather than a rugged or utilitarian slab presence. Its narrow build and delicate strokes convey restraint and sophistication, producing a crisp, slightly formal voice.
The design appears aimed at delivering a classic slab-serif structure in a markedly condensed, lightweight form, balancing crisp serif definition with a fashion-forward, high-end editorial feel. The consistent construction across caps, lowercase, and figures suggests an emphasis on uniform texture and clean typographic color in display settings.
In the sample text the condensed proportions produce a distinctive vertical texture with generous surrounding white space, while the slab serifs add clear letter definition. The hairline weight suggests it will be most comfortable at larger sizes or in high-contrast settings where the fine details can stay intact.
