A very fine-stroked serif with crisp, unbracketed slab terminals and a generally monolinear feel. The design relies on straight stems and clean, squared serifs, contrasted with generous, near-circular bowls (notably in C, O, Q, and the lowercase rounds). Proportions skew toward tall capitals and relatively compact lowercase, with smooth curves and restrained details; the lowercase a is single-storey, and the g is single-storey with an open, looping tail. Numerals appear light and open, with simple, elegant construction and minimal interior darkness.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and refined brand applications where a light, high-end texture is desired. It can work for short passages in print or high-resolution digital contexts, while larger sizes help preserve its delicate strokes and crisp terminals.
The overall tone is poised and understated, projecting a quiet formality rather than loud display. Its hairline presence and wide internal counters give it an airy, boutique editorial character that feels modern-classic and carefully composed.
The design appears intended to merge the authority and structure of slab serifs with a very light, elegant drawing, prioritizing whiteness, clarity, and a polished editorial rhythm. Its simplified lowercase forms and careful geometry suggest a contemporary update aimed at premium display typography.
At text sizes, the thin strokes and sharp slab terminals create a crisp texture with pronounced whitespace; spacing and curves read smooth and measured. The Q’s distinctive tail and the simplified single-storey lowercase forms add a slightly contemporary, minimalist twist to an otherwise classical serif structure.
