A delicate slab-serif with very thin strokes and crisp, squared serifs that read as small horizontal and vertical terminals. The letterforms are largely constructed and upright, with smooth, open counters and a steady rhythm in text. Proportions feel traditional rather than condensed, with moderate apertures and clean joins; curves are controlled and elliptical, and diagonals (V, W, Y) stay sharp and linear. Numerals follow the same restrained logic, with a simple, readable construction and consistent, fine-weight detailing.
Well suited to editorial headlines, magazine decks, and refined branding where a light, sophisticated slab-serif voice is desired. It can work effectively on book covers, invitations, and premium packaging, especially at display sizes where the thin slabs and crisp terminals stay distinct.
The overall tone is poised and understated, projecting an editorial, literary character rather than a loud display attitude. Its thin, orderly presence suggests elegance and careful typography, with a quiet authority suited to formal or cultured settings.
The design appears intended as a modern, minimal slab-serif that keeps classical proportions while using a very light, precise stroke to deliver an elegant, contemporary editorial feel. It favors clarity and typographic restraint over heavy texture or quirky detail.
At larger sizes the fine slabs and hairline strokes create a crisp, engraved-like impression, while in continuous text the narrow stroke weight makes spacing and background whiteness particularly prominent. The design remains visually consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, emphasizing clarity over ornament.
