This typeface has a tall, slender build with hairline strokes and small slab-like terminals that read as crisp, square-ended serifs at text sizes. Curves are clean and restrained, with minimal stroke modulation and a consistent, measured rhythm across capitals and lowercase. The lowercase uses a two-storey “a” and a simple, upright “g,” while ascenders and descenders are long, giving lines a vertical, open texture. Numerals are similarly thin and poised, with a delicate “0” and sharply defined joins and terminals throughout.
It suits magazine and editorial typography, fashion or cultural branding, and book-cover titling where a light, elegant slab presence is desired. It performs best in display and larger text settings where its hairline structure and crisp terminals can remain clear.
The overall tone is quiet and refined, with a high-end editorial feel rather than an industrial or rustic slab impression. Its thin construction and disciplined shapes suggest sophistication and restraint, lending a slightly formal, bookish voice.
The design appears intended to merge the disciplined structure of a slab-serif with an unusually delicate, contemporary stroke weight, creating a poised, high-contrast-in-feel (without strong modulation) voice for refined display typography.
At smaller sizes the very fine strokes and compact serifs may require careful sizing and contrast management, but in larger settings the sharp terminals and generous vertical proportions become a defining visual feature.
