A delicate slab serif with hairline strokes and crisp, square-ended serifs that read as cleanly unbracketed. Proportions are on the condensed side with tall capitals and a steady, upright stance. Curves are smooth and open (notably in C, G, O, and Q), while verticals stay straight and disciplined, giving the design a restrained rhythm. Lowercase forms are simple and legible with single-storey a and g, a high, compact shoulder on n/m, and gently extended ascenders and descenders that add elegance without feeling calligraphic.
Best suited to editorial and display settings where a light, elegant serif can breathe—magazine headlines, book covers, cultural branding, and refined packaging. It can also work for short passages or pull quotes when set large enough to preserve its delicate stroke definition.
The overall tone is quiet and sophisticated—more gallery placard than billboard. Its thin, measured strokes and sharp slab details suggest a modern-classic sensibility with a literary, editorial polish rather than a rustic or industrial mood.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary slab-serif voice with maximum elegance: sharp, square serifs and disciplined geometry paired with very light strokes for a premium, fashion-forward feel. It prioritizes clarity and polish over heaviness or overt vintage texture.
The numerals follow the same refined logic, pairing thin strokes with small slab terminals; the 2 and 3 show notably fluid curves, while 1 and 4 stay crisp and architectural. In text, the light color and condensed spacing create a clean, airy texture that benefits from generous sizes or comfortable leading.
