A very delicate slab-serif with hairline strokes and crisp, square-ended serifs that attach cleanly to stems. Curves are smooth and round with minimal stress, while the overall construction stays restrained and highly regular, giving the alphabet an even, measured rhythm. Proportions feel slightly tall and narrow in the capitals, with compact, tidy lowercase forms and a clear, straightforward figure set; the thin weight makes counters and joins appear open and light.
Best suited to display and larger text settings such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, book jackets, and refined branding systems where a light, polished serif voice is desired. It can work for short editorial paragraphs when set generously, but it is most convincing when allowed room to breathe.
The tone is elegant and editorial, with a calm, precise presence that reads as modern-classic rather than rustic or mechanical. Its extreme lightness and crisp terminals create an airy, high-end feel suited to sophisticated, minimal layouts.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, minimalist take on the slab-serif idea—retaining the square serif signature while reducing stroke contrast and overall weight to achieve a clean, upscale typographic texture.
In text, the fine strokes and small slab details create a subtle sparkle and a tidy baseline, but the design will rely on sufficient size, spacing, and contrast in print or on screen to maintain clarity. Numerals and punctuation follow the same understated, linear logic, keeping the overall color of text consistent.
