A very thin, monoline slab serif with unbracketed, square-ended serifs and a clean, consistent stroke weight. The letterforms are generously proportioned with wide set characters and ample internal counters, giving the design a light, open color on the page. Curves are smooth and near-geometric in feeling (notably in C, O, and S), while horizontals and terminals stay crisp and straight. Lowercase forms read clearly with simple, restrained construction; ascenders are tall and the spacing feels intentionally roomy in both the glyph shapes and overall rhythm.
Best suited to headlines, magazine and book styling, pull quotes, and high-end branding where its thin strokes and spacious proportions can be appreciated. It can also work for short subheads and captions in controlled conditions, but is less ideal for dense body text or low-resolution environments.
The overall tone is quiet and polished, balancing a contemporary spaciousness with a bookish, classical seriousness. Its extreme lightness and wide stance convey delicacy and restraint, producing an upscale, editorial voice rather than a utilitarian one.
The design appears intended as a modern, ultra-light slab serif for sophisticated display typography—combining crisp, square serifs with open, wide letterforms to achieve a refined, airy texture and a distinctive editorial signature.
Because the strokes are extremely fine, the design will be sensitive to size and reproduction conditions; it visually benefits from generous letterspacing and clean printing or high-resolution display. Numerals and capitals share the same airy, linear construction, maintaining a consistent, minimal presence across mixed-case settings.
