A delicate slab serif with hairline strokes and crisp, unbracketed rectangular serifs that read like fine ticks. Curves are clean and generously rounded, while verticals stay straight and evenly weighted, producing a calm, consistent rhythm. Proportions are tall with ample white space inside counters; the lowercase shows a two-storey “a,” long ascenders, and a modestly sized x-height relative to the capitals. Details such as the ball terminal on “j,” a single-storey “g,” and the narrow, upright numerals reinforce a precise, carefully drawn texture.
Best suited to headlines, titling, and short editorial passages where its fine serifs and airy color can shine. It works well for book covers, magazine mastheads, boutique branding, and posters that want a refined, contemporary look with a hint of vintage character.
The overall tone is refined and airy, with a slightly eccentric, bookish charm. Its hairline weight and crisp slab endings give it a fashion/editorial polish, while the distinctive terminals and narrow forms add a subtle vintage, boutique feel.
The design appears intended to deliver a minimalist slab-serif voice: crisp, architectural serifs combined with very light strokes for an elegant display texture. Distinctive terminals and carefully controlled proportions suggest a focus on personality without sacrificing typographic order and readability in larger settings.
In running text, the thin horizontals and small slab serifs create a lightly dotted baseline and cap line, which can feel elegant at display sizes but visually fragile at smaller sizes or on low-resolution output. The figures are slender and open, with rounded forms (0, 8, 9) that match the text’s gentle curvature.
