A very light serif with crisp, unbracketed slab terminals and a clean, linear construction. Strokes stay slender throughout with only subtle modulation, producing an airy page color and an even rhythm in text. Proportions lean tall with generous ascenders and descenders; counters are open and forms are neatly drawn with restrained, squared serifs that read as small, precise caps. Numerals are similarly fine and elegant, with round figures kept light and open and straight figures built from narrow verticals.
Best suited to display and larger text where its hairline strokes and crisp slab terminals can be appreciated—magazine headlines, fashion or beauty branding, refined packaging, and elegant invitations. It can also work for pull quotes or chapter openers when set with ample size, tracking, and line spacing.
The overall tone is poised and understated, combining modern minimalism with a bookish, classical sensibility. Its thin hairline presence feels premium and calm, lending a delicate sophistication rather than strong emphasis.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, pared-back serif voice with precise, square-ended detailing. It prioritizes elegance and refinement through very light strokes, tall proportions, and a measured, consistent rhythm across capitals, lowercase, and figures.
In the sample text, the fine serifs and thin joins can visually recede at smaller sizes, while the tall proportions and open counters help maintain clarity in spacious settings. The design’s squared terminals add a subtle structured character without becoming heavy or blocky.
