A very slender, monoline slab-serif with crisp, unbracketed terminals and a clean, upright skeleton. Serifs read as small square caps rather than heavy feet, giving the strokes a precise, hairline presence. Curves are smooth and generously open (notably in C, G, O, and e), while joins stay sharp and minimal. Proportions feel classical and slightly condensed in rhythm, with tall capitals and tidy, evenly spaced lowercase; figures are similarly light and neatly drawn, with simple, readable forms.
Best suited to headlines, magazine typography, and premium branding where a light, refined voice is desired. It can work for short passages at larger sizes—such as pull quotes, menus, and packaging copy—where its delicate stroke weight remains comfortable and its crisp slabs provide a touch of structure.
The overall tone is understated and elegant, projecting a calm, editorial sophistication. Its hairline construction and restrained detailing lend a contemporary, minimalist feel, while the slab cues add a subtle bookish authority.
The design appears intended to merge the clarity and stability of a slab-serif framework with an ultra-light, modern rendering. It prioritizes a clean, minimalist texture and open counters for an elegant, contemporary editorial presence.
At text sizes the thin strokes and small serifs create a sparkling, high-resolution texture; spacing appears measured and consistent, supporting smooth lines of reading in display and large-text settings. The design avoids flamboyant contrast or calligraphic stress, emphasizing clarity through geometry and careful terminals.
