A delicate, condensed serif design with hairline strokes and softly rounded slab-like serifs. The letterforms are upright and narrow, with long ascenders/descenders and an overall airy rhythm. Curves are smooth and open, and joins stay clean with minimal stroke modulation, giving the face a spare, linear feel. Numerals follow the same light, narrow construction with simple, legible shapes and gentle terminal rounding.
Best suited to display settings where its fine strokes and narrow build can read clearly—such as editorial headlines, book covers, boutique branding, packaging, and posters. It can also work for short text passages when set generously with comfortable size and spacing.
The tone feels quiet and literary, with a vintage, slightly whimsical elegance. Its thin lines and narrow proportions create a poised, understated presence that reads as crafted and personable rather than corporate or loud.
Likely drawn to deliver an elegant, space-saving serif with a softer, more approachable finish through rounded slab-like terminals. The design emphasizes vertical rhythm and delicacy, aiming for a refined display voice with a subtly vintage character.
The distinctive rounded slab details and tall proportions are most noticeable in capitals and in letters with prominent verticals, producing a consistent vertical cadence. In text, the light weight and condensed width make the texture feel crisp and spacious, especially at larger sizes.
