A condensed, delicate slab-serif with a largely monoline stroke and crisp, square-ended serifs. The letterforms are tall and upright with long ascenders/descenders and generous interior space, giving an open, vertical rhythm. Curves are clean and controlled, and terminals tend to finish flat with minimal bracketing, producing a neat, engineered texture in text. Numerals and capitals follow the same narrow, elegant proportions, with consistent spacing that keeps words compact without feeling cramped.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and editorial settings where a slim, elegant slab-serif can add structure without heavy weight. It can work well in magazine layouts, posters, and branding systems that need a refined condensed voice and efficient horizontal economy.
The overall tone is restrained and literary, with a quiet elegance that reads as classic and composed rather than loud or decorative. Its thin, tidy construction and narrow stance lend a poised, slightly archival feel—suited to sophisticated, detail-oriented typography.
The font appears designed to combine the clarity and stability of slab serifs with a slim, modernized silhouette, emphasizing verticality and economy of space. Its consistent stroke weight and flat terminals suggest an intent to stay clean and legible while projecting a composed, cultured character.
In the sample text, the condensed proportions create a strong vertical cadence and allow long lines to fit comfortably, while the slab serifs add clear word-shape cues. The design feels more display-leaning at larger sizes, where the fine strokes and sharp serifs stay crisp and intentional.
