A very light, wide serif design with crisp, flat slab terminals and clean, unbracketed joins. Strokes are delicate and consistent, with a measured contrast between verticals, horizontals, and curves that stays subtle rather than dramatic. The capitals feel open and stately, with generous counters and long horizontal spans; curves are smooth and slightly softened, while serifs remain sharply squared. Lowercase forms are spacious and readable, with a straightforward, upright construction and a steady rhythm that emphasizes horizontal structure. Numerals follow the same fine, airy construction, pairing thin strokes with wide footprints for a quiet, refined presence.
Well-suited to editorial typography where a refined, high-end texture is desired, especially for headlines, deck lines, pull quotes, and cover titling. It can also work in branding and packaging that benefits from an airy, elegant serif voice, particularly at larger sizes where its fine strokes and wide proportions can breathe.
The overall tone is poised and cultured, evoking a bookish, gallery-like calm rather than loud display energy. Its thin strokes and expansive proportions lend it an elegant, lightly formal character that feels considered and contemporary while still rooted in classic serif conventions.
The design appears intended to combine the authority and structure of slab serifs with a fashion-forward lightness and wide, spacious proportions. It prioritizes elegance, clarity of silhouette, and a distinctive horizontal emphasis for polished display and editorial settings.
The wide set and hairline weight create a strong sense of whitespace and a graceful texture in paragraphs, but the extremely fine strokes make it visually sensitive to size, background, and printing or screen conditions. The squared slabs provide a disciplined, architectural accent that keeps the letterforms from feeling overly fragile.
