A very light slab-serif with fine, monoline-like strokes and small, crisp serifs that read as lightly bracketed. The proportions are tall and open, with a noticeably short x-height against long ascenders and descenders, giving the text a vertical, spacious rhythm. Curves are clean and round with generous counters, while terminals stay restrained and precise; overall spacing feels measured and even, supporting clear word shapes in continuous text.
Well suited to editorial settings such as magazines, books, and cultured brand systems where a refined slab-serif presence is desired. It works particularly well for headlines, pull quotes, and larger text settings where the thin strokes and small slabs can be appreciated without loss of clarity.
The tone is poised and literary, with an airy sophistication that feels classic without becoming ornate. Its hairline construction and calm geometry lend a delicate, editorial voice suitable for understated, premium typography.
The design appears intended to blend the stability of slab serifs with a minimal, hairline stroke treatment, creating a modernized, elegant reading face. Its short x-height and tall proportions suggest a focus on a classic page tone and graceful display use rather than utilitarian compactness.
The design maintains a consistent, fine-line texture across both capitals and lowercase, and the numerals match the same light, high-clarity construction. At smaller sizes the strokes may appear faint, but at display and comfortable reading sizes the slender slabs add just enough structure to keep the letterforms from feeling purely serifless.
