A very light slab serif with hairline-like strokes and crisp, unbracketed rectangular serifs. The letterforms show a calm, vertical stance with generous interior space and smooth, near-monolinear construction. Curves are clean and open, while joins and terminals stay sharp, creating a precise, slightly architectural rhythm. Proportions feel balanced with a moderate x-height and relatively long extenders, and the overall texture on the page is bright and lightly spaced.
Best suited to display and short-to-medium text settings where its delicate slabs can remain distinct—magazine headlines, fashion or lifestyle editorial, premium branding, and packaging. It can work for pull quotes and subheads when size and spacing preserve the fine stroke details.
The tone is elegant and restrained, combining classic serif familiarity with a modern, minimalist delicacy. Its thin strokes and crisp serifs lend a quiet luxury and editorial sophistication rather than warmth or ruggedness.
The design appears intended to offer a contemporary, high-end slab serif voice: crisp and structured, but with ample openness and gentle curves to keep the texture refined. The consistent lightness suggests an emphasis on elegance and clarity over robustness.
In the sample text, the thin strokes and fine serifs create a refined sparkle at larger sizes, while small details (like tight inner joins and hairline horizontals) look most confident when given enough size and air. Numerals appear similarly light and orderly, matching the text’s understated, premium feel.
