A very thin, monoline serif with small slab-like terminals and a crisp, constructed drawing. Serifs read as lightly bracketed slabs on many capitals, while curves remain smooth and near-uniform in thickness for a clean, technical rhythm. Proportions are slightly condensed with a restrained, vertical stance; capitals feel tall and linear, and the lowercase shows compact forms with modest ascenders and a notably small x-height. Details such as the single-storey a, a looped g, and fine beak-like terminals on letters like r and f add calligraphic hints without breaking the overall precision.
Best suited to display and larger text settings where its hairline strokes and slabbed serifs can remain clear—magazine features, refined headlines, book jackets, and minimalist branding. It can also work for formal stationery and invitations when paired with ample whitespace and careful color/printing choices.
The overall tone is elegant and restrained—more understated than decorative—evoking editorial refinement and a quietly academic, archival feel. Its hairline construction suggests sophistication and calm, with a subtle vintage flavor from the slabbed serifs and oldstyle-like lowercase forms.
The design appears intended to blend modern monoline clarity with slab-serif structure, producing a refined, lightly vintage voice for contemporary editorial typography. It aims for precision and elegance over robustness, prioritizing a clean rhythm and delicate detail.
At text sizes the extreme lightness and open counters keep paragraphs looking airy, while the thin joins and hairline serifs create a delicate sparkle that will be most comfortable with generous size and leading. Numerals are simple and linear, matching the typewriter-adjacent crispness without looking strictly monospaced.
