A very thin, monoline serif with a clean, open build and generous sidebearings. Serifs read as small slabs with softened, rounded corners and subtle bracketing, giving terminals a gentle finish rather than a sharp cut. Uppercase forms are tall and poised with wide bowls and smooth curves; lowercase keeps a straightforward, readable structure with single-storey a and g and long, fine ascenders/descenders. Figures are similarly light and linear, with simple geometry and modest shaping that keeps them consistent with the text rhythm.
Well-suited to editorial settings such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, and refined display typography where its delicate stroke and open spacing can shine. It also fits premium branding and packaging applications that want a modern-classic serif impression without heavy contrast.
The overall tone is quiet and polished—more editorial than decorative—projecting an understated elegance. Its hairline strokes and rounded slab details feel contemporary while still referencing traditional book typography, resulting in a composed, cultured voice.
The design appears intended to deliver an elegant, lightly constructed serif with slab-leaning terminals that remain soft and approachable. Its consistent stroke weight and measured proportions prioritize a clean typographic color and a sophisticated, contemporary reading experience at larger sizes.
Because the strokes are extremely fine, the design benefits from ample whitespace and clear printing or high-resolution screens. The rounded slab terminals add stability and a subtle warmth, preventing the hairline construction from feeling brittle.
