A delicate serif design with thin, consistent strokes and crisp, unbracketed slab terminals that read as small rectangular caps at the ends of stems. Curves are smooth and controlled, with generous counters and a calm, even rhythm across text. Proportions feel fairly traditional: capitals are stately and slightly narrow, while the lowercase shows modest ascenders/descenders and a balanced, readable x-height. Numerals are light and elegant, with clear distinctions and restrained shaping that matches the text tone.
Well-suited to editorial settings such as magazine typography, pull quotes, and refined book or chapter titling where a light, elegant serif can breathe. It can also support premium branding, packaging, and invitations when used at medium-to-large sizes with ample leading.
The overall tone is poised and understated, leaning toward editorial elegance rather than loud display. Its hairline construction and sharp slab finishing give it a quietly distinctive, bookish voice—formal, precise, and slightly vintage in spirit.
The design appears intended to merge a contemporary hairline serif feel with the clarity and structure of square-ended slab terminals, creating a distinctive but restrained reading texture. It prioritizes elegance, cleanliness, and typographic polish over heavy contrast or overt ornamentation.
In the sample text, the light weight produces a bright page color and emphasizes spacing and punctuation clarity. The sharp, square-ended serifs add definition at small sizes, but the extremely thin strokes make it feel best in well-printed or high-resolution contexts where fine details can hold.
