A delicate, hairline slab-serif with tall proportions and a clean, measured rhythm. Strokes stay consistently thin with minimal modulation, while unbracketed slab serifs appear as small, crisp terminals that sharpen the overall silhouette. Counters are open and oval forms read smoothly, with long ascenders/descenders and generous sidebearings that create an airy texture in text. Uppercase geometry feels classical and restrained, paired with a lightly calligraphic touch in some lowercase details (notably the curved entries and tails).
Best suited to editorial settings, premium branding, invitations, and packaging where a light, elevated voice is desired. It can work for headlines and pull quotes, and for short-to-medium passages when set at comfortable sizes with generous leading to preserve clarity.
The overall tone is quiet and cultivated—more gallery label than headline shout. Its thin lines and controlled serifs convey sophistication and precision, with a slightly literary, editorial character that suggests tastefulness and restraint.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classical slab-serif feel: crisp, unbracketed serifs combined with extremely fine strokes to achieve a poised, high-end impression while maintaining legible, traditional letterforms.
In running text the font produces a pale, spacious color, so it benefits from ample size and line spacing. Numerals are similarly slender and elegant, matching the text weight and maintaining a consistent, refined texture.
