A very light, monoline slab serif with wide proportions and a clean, even rhythm. The serifs are flat and unbracketed, meeting strokes squarely and extending with a restrained, horizontal emphasis. Curves are drawn with smooth, nearly uniform thickness, producing open bowls and generous apertures; horizontals and verticals feel equally delicate, with little visual stress. The lowercase shows a tall x-height and simple, straightforward construction, while capitals are spacious and stately with large round forms and broad internal counters.
Best suited for display settings where its delicate strokes and wide letterforms can breathe—magazine headlines, pull quotes, and refined brand wordmarks. It can also work well on premium packaging and invitations where a light, elegant typographic color is desired, ideally with ample size and contrast against the background.
The overall tone is quiet and cultivated—minimal, elegant, and slightly formal without feeling heavy. Its hairline presence and expansive spacing give it a gallery-like, editorial refinement that reads as contemporary and understated.
The font appears intended to deliver a modern, high-end slab serif voice by combining unbracketed, geometric serifs with an extremely light, spacious drawing. The tall lowercase and open shapes suggest an emphasis on clarity and a smooth editorial texture rather than dense text performance.
The design’s thin strokes and long, flat serifs create a crisp baseline and a slightly architectural feel at larger sizes. Numerals and punctuation follow the same light, linear logic, keeping the texture consistent across mixed-case settings.
