A very light, hairline slab serif with crisp, square-ended serifs and clean, unbracketed joins. Strokes are consistently thin with minimal modulation, giving the letters a delicate, precise skeleton. Proportions run tall and relatively condensed, with generous sidebearings and an even, measured rhythm in text. Curves are smooth and open, terminals stay sharp and geometric, and the numerals match the restrained, upright construction with airy counters.
Best suited to editorial display settings—magazine titles, book jackets, pull quotes, and refined branding where a light, sophisticated voice is desired. It can work for short passages in print-like contexts when set large enough and with generous leading to preserve the thin details.
The overall tone is refined and quiet, balancing a literary, classical sensibility with a contemporary, minimal finish. Its thin strokes and disciplined geometry read as tasteful and editorial, leaning more poised than playful.
The design appears intended to deliver a modernized slab-serif presence in an exceptionally light weight: crisp, orderly, and legible at display sizes, with enough serif character to feel traditional while staying visually minimal.
In the sample text, the light weight produces a pale typographic color and benefits from comfortable point sizes and ample line spacing. The unbracketed slabs stay visible without adding heaviness, creating a distinctive, slightly architectural texture across long lines.
