This is a very delicate, monoline slab-serif with square, unbracketed serifs and a clean, measured rhythm. Strokes remain consistently thin throughout, with open counters and a generally generous set that keeps letterforms from feeling cramped. Capitals are drawn with classical proportions and straightforward construction, while the lowercase shows subtle, texty details such as a two-storey “g” and “a” with restrained terminals. Numerals are similarly light and open, with simple, readable shapes and minimal stylistic flourish.
It performs best in settings where a refined slab-serif voice is wanted without heaviness—editorial layouts, magazine typography, book covers, and sophisticated branding. The light stroke weight and crisp serifs make it especially effective for headlines, pull quotes, and other larger-size applications where its airy texture can be appreciated.
The overall tone is quiet and cultivated, leaning toward editorial elegance rather than display theatrics. Its hairline presence and crisp slab endings give it a poised, slightly intellectual character that feels suited to thoughtful, curated contexts.
The design appears intended to merge the steadiness of a slab-serif skeleton with a very light, contemporary finish, creating a calm and cultivated texture for modern editorial typography. The focus is on clarity, proportion, and a distinctive hairline slab presence rather than bold emphasis.
At larger sizes the thin strokes and sharp slab serifs read with a precise, print-like clarity, while the wide spacing and open bowls help maintain legibility in continuous text. The design’s restraint emphasizes structure and proportion over contrast or calligraphic movement.
