A very thin, monoline slab serif with crisp, square-ended terminals and lightly bracketless slabs. The drawing relies on long, straight stems and gently rounded bowls, producing clean, open counters and a measured rhythm in text. Uppercase forms are restrained and geometric with broad, flat serifs on letters like E, F, and T, while curves (C, G, O, Q) stay smooth and evenly weighted. The lowercase shows simple, contemporary constructions with modest modulation in joins and a clear two-storey a; numerals follow the same hairline logic with flat bases and tidy curves.
Best suited for headlines, large pull quotes, mastheads, and brand wordmarks where the hairline strokes and square slab finishing can be appreciated. It can also work for premium packaging or minimalist UI titles when used at generous sizes and with comfortable spacing.
The overall tone feels calm, elegant, and contemporary—more architectural than calligraphic. Its hairline weight and squared slabs give it a poised, editorial voice that reads as precise and understated rather than decorative.
The design appears intended to merge modern, minimal construction with the structural clarity of slab serifs, delivering a crisp, refined look that stays neutral and highly legible at display scale.
At display sizes the sharp slab details and flat terminals read especially clearly, while in longer lines the extremely light strokes create a delicate, airy texture. Round letters remain spacious, and the font keeps a consistent, disciplined geometry across caps, lowercase, and figures.
