A very light slab-serif with an almost monoline construction and crisp, square-cut finishing. Serifs are small but clearly present, generally unbracketed, and paired with long, straight stems that keep the texture open and airy. Rounds (C, O, Q, e) are clean and restrained, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) are sharp and neatly resolved. The lowercase shows a readable, bookish rhythm with a two-storey g, a simple single-storey a, and narrow joins that maintain an elegant, understated color across text.
Best suited to display and larger text settings such as headlines, book or magazine titling, pull quotes, and elegant brand identities where fine detail can remain intact. It can also work for short passages in print or high-resolution digital layouts when ample size and line spacing are available.
The overall tone is refined and literary, with a quiet formality that feels suited to editorial and cultural contexts. Its hairline weight and crisp slabs give it a poised, slightly vintage flavor without becoming ornate.
The design intention reads as a modern, minimal take on a classic slab-serif: keep the serifs and proportions traditional enough to feel authoritative, but reduce stroke mass and simplify details to achieve an airy, contemporary sophistication.
Spacing appears generous enough to prevent the thin strokes from clumping in lines of text, and the numerals share the same light, precise construction as the letters, keeping a consistent typographic voice across mixed content.
