A very slender slab serif with a hairline, near-monoline stroke and tightly condensed proportions. Serifs are small and square-ended, reading as crisp horizontal and vertical terminals rather than bracketed wedges. Curves are smooth and restrained, counters are relatively open for the width, and joins stay clean and linear. Overall spacing and rhythm feel neat and controlled, with a calm, vertical stance and a lightly drawn, delicate texture in text.
Best suited to display settings where its delicate strokes can be preserved—such as magazine headlines, book and chapter titling, posters, and refined branding wordmarks. In longer passages it can produce a light, elegant page color, but it benefits from generous size and comfortable leading to maintain clarity.
The tone is quiet and understated, with an intellectual, editorial feel. Its thin strokes and crisp, squared finishing details convey precision and restraint rather than warmth or exuberance.
The design appears intended to deliver a condensed, economical headline voice with a crisp slab-serif finish, balancing traditional letterform cues with a minimalist, finely drawn stroke for a distinctive, airy typographic color.
Capitals have a formal, lightly classical silhouette softened by the minimal slab treatment, while the lowercase keeps a simple, workmanlike construction. Numerals are narrow and consistent in color, matching the typeface’s fine, wiry texture.
