A very lightly drawn slab serif with crisp, unbracketed square serifs and a strongly horizontal, wide-set rhythm. Strokes read largely monoline, with gentle rounding in bowls and terminals that keeps the forms from feeling rigid. The lowercase shows a prominent x-height and open apertures, while the overall letterfit is spacious, emphasizing breadth and clarity. Numerals follow the same restrained construction, with clean curves and flat-ended details that match the serif treatment.
Best suited to display and larger text where its delicate stroke weight and wide proportions can breathe—magazine headlines, fashion or cultural editorial layouts, brand wordmarks, premium packaging, and poster typography. It can also work for short passages and pull quotes when set with generous leading to preserve its light, open texture.
The tone is contemporary and understated, with an airy elegance that feels editorial rather than decorative. Its wide stance and thin, precise strokes give it a calm, cultivated presence—suggesting modern publishing, design-forward branding, and minimalist systems.
Likely intended as a contemporary slab serif that prioritizes elegance and spatial rhythm over heaviness, pairing crisp square serifs with wide proportions for a clean, design-led voice. The tall lowercase and open forms suggest an emphasis on readability and modern editorial versatility in larger sizes.
The design balances squared serif geometry with softened curves in round letters, creating a controlled but approachable texture. In paragraph settings it produces an even, lightly textured color, with the wide proportions contributing as much to the personality as the serif structure.
