A very thin, monoline serif with small, squared slab-like terminals and minimal stroke modulation. The letterforms are built from clean, straight stems and generous curves, with precise corners and a lightly mechanical, drawn-with-a-pen clarity. Proportions feel balanced and relatively classic, with open counters, a moderate x-height, and careful spacing that keeps the texture light and even in text. Numerals and lowercase show subtle idiosyncrasies—such as curled descenders and fine, sharp joins—while maintaining consistent stroke weight and serif treatment across the set.
It suits display and titling applications such as editorial headlines, book covers, and refined brand wordmarks where a light, airy texture is desirable. It can work for larger-size body copy or pull quotes in print-like settings, especially when generous leading and careful contrast against the background are available.
The overall tone is elegant and quiet, with a light, cultivated presence that reads as literary and slightly editorial. Its hairline construction gives it a poised, refined feel, while the slab terminals add a composed, contemporary structure rather than ornate warmth.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, minimal serif voice with slab-like finishing, prioritizing an even monoline construction and a luminous, understated typographic color. It aims for clarity and sophistication over robustness, offering a distinctive, delicate take on a structured serif model.
Because the strokes are extremely thin, the design is visually sensitive: it favors ample size and good reproduction conditions where the hairlines and small serifs won’t fill in or disappear. The text sample shows a distinctly light page color with a calm rhythm, making punctuation and fine details appear crisp but delicate.
