A very light, expanded slab serif with monoline strokes and crisp, unbracketed serifs. Letterforms mix generous curves with squared terminals, producing a clean, engineered outline with slightly softened corners rather than sharp points throughout. Counters are open and roomy, spacing is even and calm, and the tall x-height keeps lowercase forms prominent. Overall rhythm is steady and horizontal, with wide capitals and rounded bowls balancing flat serif bars and straight stems.
Best suited to headlines and short to medium editorial settings where its wide proportions and light stroke can breathe. It can add a contemporary, design-forward character to branding, posters, and packaging, particularly at larger sizes where the slab details and open counters remain crisp.
The tone reads cool, modern, and technical—more architectural than calligraphic. Its lightness and wide stance create an airy, measured voice that feels deliberate and refined, with a subtle retro-futurist flavor from the geometric curves and slab detailing.
The design appears intended to combine a modern, geometric skeleton with slab-serif authority while keeping the overall color light and spacious. It aims for clarity and stylistic distinctiveness through wide proportions, simplified stroke modulation, and square-joined serifs.
Distinctive cues include the broad, oval-like rounds in O/C/G and the consistently square slab treatment on both uppercase and lowercase. Diagonals in V/W/X/Y are clean and linear, while bowls and shoulders stay smooth and restrained, reinforcing a composed, display-leaning texture in paragraphs.
