A very light, sharply drawn slab serif with unbracketed, rectangular terminals and a largely monoline feel. Strokes are thin and even, with crisp corners and a clean, open rhythm that keeps counters spacious. Capitals are narrow-to-moderate in proportion with a restrained, classical skeleton, while lowercase forms stay tidy and upright with simple, square-ended details. Numerals follow the same delicate construction, reading cleanly with minimal modulation and careful spacing.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazine headlines, book covers, and pull quotes where a refined slab presence is desired without heavy color on the page. It can also work for posters and branding wordmarks that benefit from crisp, modern-seriffed letterforms and a light typographic voice.
The overall tone is quiet and elegant, leaning toward editorial refinement rather than display exuberance. Its hairline weight and crisp slabs give it a cultured, modern-bookish character—precise, composed, and slightly formal without feeling ornate.
The design appears intended to blend slab-serif structure with a very light, contemporary drawing, creating a distinctive editorial texture that feels both classic in skeleton and modern in finish.
Because the serifs are thin but distinctly blocky, the face reads as a slab from afar while maintaining a light, airy texture up close. In the sample text, the consistent stroke weight and open counters support a smooth reading line, though the delicacy suggests it will look best where reproduction is sharp and sizes are not too small.
