A very thin, monolinear slab serif with crisp, unbracketed rectangular terminals and a clean, open construction. Curves are drawn with generous, near-circular bowls (notably in C, O, Q, and 0), while vertical stems stay straight and delicate, creating a light, precise rhythm. Serifs read as flat horizontal bars with minimal shaping, and joints stay sharp rather than softened. The lowercase mixes simple geometric forms with small, controlled details—single-storey a and g, a compact ear on g, and straightforward, narrow-armed t—keeping the texture even despite the hairline weight. Numerals follow the same understated geometry, with a smooth, rounded 2 and a clean, open 3 and 5.
Works well for display typography such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, book or album covers, and premium packaging where a light, refined slab voice is desired. It can also suit brand marks and wordmarks that need a modern, architectural feel, especially in larger sizes where the hairline detailing remains crisp.
The overall tone is elegant and restrained, leaning toward contemporary editorial sophistication rather than rustic or overtly historical slab character. Its hairline strokes and strict, squared terminals give it a quiet precision—more gallery-like and architectural than playful. The wide, open counters contribute to a calm, airy presence on the page.
The design appears intended to combine the structural clarity of a slab serif with a minimal, hairline execution, emphasizing sharp terminals, open geometry, and an uncluttered reading texture. It aims for a contemporary, upscale look that stays neutral and controlled while still feeling distinctive through its extreme lightness and squared serif treatment.
At text sizes the extremely thin horizontals and serifs can visually recede, making it feel best when given generous size, spacing, or high-contrast reproduction. The sample shows a consistent, measured spacing and a smooth line texture that favors clarity over ornament.
