A very thin, monoline slab serif with crisp, unbracketed terminals and a clean, measured rhythm. The serifs read as small, squared-off caps that sit neatly on stems, while round letters keep smooth, near-circular bowls with minimal modulation. Proportions are moderately wide and open, with generous counters and ample sidebearings that create a light, spacious color in text. Details like the sharp apexes and narrow joins stay precise, giving the design a controlled, contemporary finish.
Best suited to display contexts such as headlines, pull quotes, magazine titling, and premium branding where its airy, hairline construction can be appreciated. It can also work for short editorial passages when set large with generous spacing, but its delicate strokes favor high-resolution output and clear contrast with the background.
The overall tone is quiet, elegant, and deliberately restrained—more gallery label than newspaper. Its hairline presence and tidy slabs suggest a fashion/editorial sensibility, communicating calm sophistication rather than warmth or ruggedness.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern slab-serif silhouette in an ultra-light, fashion-forward execution—combining crisp, square-ended serifs with open, geometric letterforms for a polished, contemporary reading experience at display sizes.
In the sample text, the thin strokes and wide spacing produce a pale texture that benefits from larger sizes and comfortable leading. Curves and straight strokes feel consistently engineered, and the squared terminals keep the voice modern even in traditional serif structures.
