A very light slab serif with crisp, unbracketed serifs and minimal stroke modulation. The design balances tall capitals with a moderate x-height, producing an open, airy texture in text. Curves are clean and near-monoline, with fine joins and sharp terminals; round letters like O and C feel elegant and slightly generous, while straight-sided forms keep a tidy rhythm. Numerals and punctuation carry the same delicate construction, with understated, bookish figures and ample interior space.
Best suited to editorial headlines, book and magazine typography, and high-end branding where a light, polished voice is desired. It can work for short paragraphs in spacious layouts, but the extremely thin strokes suggest using comfortable sizes and generous leading for sustained reading.
The overall tone is refined and literary, leaning more toward quiet sophistication than display bravura. Its hairline weight and square serif details convey a measured, editorial character—formal without feeling heavy.
The font appears designed to deliver a contemporary, airy take on the slab serif idea—pairing square, unbracketed serifs with near-monoline strokes to achieve elegance and clarity. The intent seems focused on refined display-to-editorial settings where delicacy and structure need to coexist.
The thin horizontal strokes and delicate serifs create strong light–dark sparkle at larger sizes, while the slab structure preserves a clear baseline and consistent letterfit. The italics are not shown; all samples present a strictly upright, cleanly drawn roman.
