A very delicate slab serif with hairline strokes and crisp, unbracketed terminals. The design keeps a largely monolinear feel with only subtle thick–thin modulation, and relies on squared serifs and straight joins to define structure. Proportions are tall and elegant, with narrow counters and generous internal whitespace; round forms (C, O, Q) are clean and near-circular, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) remain sharp and controlled. The lowercase shows single‑storey a and g, a compact, open e, and slender, upright stems with small, tidy feet; numerals are similarly thin and refined, with a simple, oval 0 and light, linear figures throughout.
Best suited to display typography—magazine headlines, refined branding, invitation suites, and premium packaging—where its hairline construction can be reproduced cleanly. It can work for short editorial text at comfortable sizes with sufficient leading, but it will be most effective where delicacy and whitespace are part of the visual system.
The overall tone is quiet, polished, and slightly formal, with an airy sophistication that reads as contemporary editorial rather than rustic or heavy. Its thin strokes and crisp slabs lend a sense of precision and restraint, giving text a poised, gallery-like presence.
The letterforms appear designed to merge modern hairline elegance with the steadiness of slab serifs, creating a minimalist, architectural serif for high-end visual communication. The consistent, crisp terminals and simplified lowercase suggest an intention toward clarity and contemporary polish over traditional book-seriff warmth.
Because the strokes are extremely fine, the face benefits from generous spacing and higher-contrast reproduction; small sizes or low-quality printing may cause the hairlines and serifs to soften or drop out. The restrained detailing and consistent geometry keep the rhythm even in longer lines, while the slab terminals add a subtle architectural accent.
