A very light, hairline slab-serif with tall proportions and ample internal space. Strokes are consistently thin with minimal modulation, and the serifs read as small, squared terminals that are subtly rounded and softly bracketed into stems. Curves are clean and open, counters are generous, and joins stay crisp without heavy flare. Overall spacing feels measured and even, with a calm rhythm across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
Works well for editorial settings where an elegant, airy texture is desired—book and magazine typography, pull quotes, and section titles. It can also suit refined branding, packaging, and invitations when used at comfortable sizes and with sufficient contrast against the background.
The tone is quiet and cultured, combining a bookish elegance with a gentle, slightly quirky charm. Its slender build and rounded slab details give it a refined, approachable voice rather than a rigid or industrial one.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif impression in an extremely light, contemporary form—prioritizing delicacy, vertical poise, and a softened slab-serif signature for tasteful display and text accents.
The numerals and capitals maintain the same restrained weight and vertical emphasis, producing a consistent, lightly formal texture in longer text. The thin serifs and hairline strokes make the design feel best when given room to breathe.
