A condensed serif with extremely thin, near-monoline strokes and crisp, square-ended slab serifs. The construction is upright and clean, with narrow proportions and generous internal whitespace that keeps counters open even at small widths. Terminals and serifs read as sharply cut and unbracketed, giving the outlines a precise, engraved feel. Curves are smooth and restrained, and overall spacing appears even, producing a steady vertical rhythm in text.
Best suited to editorial headlines, book or magazine titling, and refined branding where a slender, high-precision serif texture is desired. It can work for short paragraphs at comfortable sizes and with ample leading, particularly in print-like layouts where its delicate strokes and condensed rhythm read intentionally.
The font conveys a quiet, literary elegance—restrained and precise rather than expressive or playful. Its hairline weight and crisp slabs suggest a classic, editorial tone with a slightly archival or bookplate-like refinement.
The design appears intended to deliver a minimalist slab-serif voice—combining crisp, squared serifs with a hairline, condensed build to achieve a refined, classical display texture without heavy stroke contrast.
In the sample text, the long, thin horizontals and small serifs create a shimmering texture that emphasizes vertical strokes, especially in dense lines. Numerals and capitals maintain the same slender, measured presence, supporting a cohesive, understated voice across alphanumerics.
