A very light serif with crisp, unbracketed slab-like terminals and an overall hairline construction. Strokes stay largely even, with only subtle modulation, and the outlines feel clean and controlled rather than calligraphic. Proportions are fairly balanced with a moderate x-height; round letters are open and smooth, while verticals and horizontals keep a precise, architectural rhythm. Serifs read as thin, squared caps at the ends of stems and arms, contributing to a poised, sharply finished texture in text.
Best suited to display sizes where the hairline strokes and square serifs can read clearly—magazine headlines, fashion/arts branding, premium packaging, and invitations. It can work for short to moderate text in generous layouts, but the very light weight benefits from comfortable size, line spacing, and good contrast against the background.
The tone is elegant and restrained, with a contemporary editorial polish. Its light color and crisp terminals give it a quiet sophistication—more gallery-card and magazine than rustic or overtly vintage.
The design appears intended to merge modern minimalism with a slab-serif structure, delivering a refined, high-end voice without heavy contrast or overt historical detailing. It prioritizes clarity of form and a light typographic color for elegant, spacious compositions.
In the sample text, spacing feels on the open side, emphasizing the font’s airy color and making the slab terminals appear especially crisp. Numerals and capitals maintain the same fine stroke weight, reinforcing a consistent, minimalist presence across mixed content.
