A very delicate slab-serif with hairline strokes and small, lightly bracketed rectangular serifs. The design keeps a crisp, monoline-like rhythm, pairing narrow joins with generous counters and smooth, near-circular rounds. Uppercase forms feel classical and restrained, while the lowercase introduces subtle calligraphic cues such as the single-storey a and g, a modestly curved f, and a gently looping y. Numerals are similarly fine and open, with simple construction and understated terminals that maintain the font’s airy texture.
Best suited to display settings where its hairline slabs can stay crisp: headlines, pull quotes, book-cover titling, and fashion/editorial layouts. It can also work for refined brand wordmarks and packaging, especially when printed or rendered at sizes that preserve its thin details.
The overall tone is quiet, elegant, and bookish, with a poised, gallery-like refinement. Its thin structure and measured detailing suggest sophistication and restraint rather than bold personality, giving text a light, composed presence.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, minimalist take on slab serifs—prioritizing elegance and openness over weight, and offering a refined, editorial voice through very thin strokes, restrained serifs, and carefully balanced proportions.
In the sample text, the fine horizontals and serifs create a shimmering page color that reads best with comfortable size and spacing. The italic is not shown; all samples present a consistent upright style with minimal stroke modulation and clean, controlled curves.
