A very thin, linear slab serif with crisp, unbracketed terminals and a calm, even rhythm. Strokes stay delicate and consistent, with subtle modulation only where curves turn, and the serifs read as small, square caps that emphasize horizontals without adding much weight. Proportions are clean and fairly open, with generous counters and measured spacing that keeps the texture light. The lowercase shows a straightforward, readable construction with long ascenders and a restrained, almost monoline feel; figures are similarly slender and quietly drawn.
Well-suited to editorial settings such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, and book-jacket titling where a light, sophisticated texture is desired. It can also support high-end branding and packaging, particularly when paired with generous whitespace and careful typographic hierarchy. It is most effective at larger sizes or in applications where delicacy is a feature rather than a constraint.
The overall tone is refined and quiet, suggesting editorial polish rather than display theatrics. Its hairline presence and squared serifs lend a slightly architectural, modernist seriousness while still feeling cultured and bookish. The result is elegant and composed, with a delicate, premium flavor.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, minimalist take on a slab-serif voice: squared terminals for structure, hairline strokes for elegance, and open proportions for clarity. It aims for a distinctive, premium typographic color that feels crisp and composed in display and short text settings.
Because the serifs and stems are so light, the face reads best when given room—ample tracking and comfortable line spacing help preserve its clarity. In the sample text, the type creates a bright page color with a distinctive, crisp baseline and a measured, understated personality.
