A very thin, crisp slab-serif with straight stems, generous inner counters, and a broadly open, spacious rhythm. Serifs are sharp and mostly unbracketed, giving the shapes a precise, architectural finish, while occasional tapered joins and rounded terminals (notably in curves and the lowercase a/c/e) soften the overall geometry. The uppercase leans toward classical proportions with clean horizontals and lightly flared details, and the lowercase keeps a straightforward, readable build with tall ascenders, modest bowls, and tidy punctuation-like dots. Numerals are similarly light and linear, with open forms and subtle curvature that maintains an even, consistent texture in text.
Best suited for editorial settings—magazine display, pull quotes, section headers, and refined headline work—where its light slabs and open spacing can read cleanly. It can also support minimalist branding and packaging that aims for a quiet, premium tone, especially when used at display sizes and with careful spacing.
The tone is understated and cultivated, combining a bookish, literary feel with a modern sense of restraint. Its fine weight and crisp slabs read as elegant and intentional rather than loud, projecting a calm, editorial voice suited to quiet sophistication.
The design appears intended as a contemporary, pared-back slab serif that keeps traditional structure while emphasizing lightness and clarity. It aims to deliver a polished, high-end texture with crisp terminals and ample openness for elegant display typography.
In the text sample, the hairline strokes create a pale typographic color and benefit from comfortable tracking and ample line spacing. The sharp slab endings and thin joins give the face a refined look, but also make it feel more at home at larger sizes where the delicate detailing can hold up clearly.
