A very thin, hairline slab serif with crisp, unbracketed rectangular serifs and a clean, drawn-with-a-pen-and-ruler feel. Strokes are consistently light with minimal modulation, and the serifs read as precise terminals rather than heavy blocks, creating a delicate but architectural rhythm. Uppercase forms are restrained and classical in proportion, while the lowercase shows open, legible shapes with a two-storey “a,” a single-storey “g,” and a long, gently curving “f.” Figures are similarly light and open, with a simple “1,” a rounded “2,” and clear, airy counters in “8” and “9.”
Best suited to editorial headlines, magazine features, book jackets, and refined branding where a light, sophisticated slab serif can carry an upscale tone. It will also work well for packaging and short blocks of text at comfortable sizes where its delicate strokes and crisp serifs can remain clear.
The overall tone is poised and cultured—more gallery catalog than billboard—combining a contemporary lightness with a subtly classical, bookish presence. Its fine serifs and spacious forms suggest precision, restraint, and sophistication rather than warmth or casualness.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, minimal slab-serif voice with crisp geometry and an elevated, editorial finish—pairing classical letter structure with a deliberately delicate, contemporary weight.
In text, the hairline strokes and sharp slab terminals create a sparkling, high-definition texture with noticeable whitespace and a calm baseline rhythm. Because the weight is extremely light, it visually rewards generous sizes and careful spacing, where its crisp serifs and open counters remain distinct.
