A tall, slender slab-serif with a very delicate, nearly monoline stroke and crisp, square-ended terminals. Serifs read as small rectangular blocks that join the stems cleanly, giving a precise, engineered edge without soft bracketing. Curves are smooth and controlled, counters are relatively open for the width, and vertical stress dominates, producing a tidy rhythm in text. Spacing appears measured and even, with a narrow overall footprint that maintains clarity through consistent stroke behavior.
This font is well suited to editorial design where a refined, narrow serif can add elegance without adding visual weight—magazine headlines, book covers, section openers, and pull quotes. It can also work for restrained branding applications that want a crisp, modern-classic voice, particularly in larger sizes where its thin strokes and small slab details remain clear.
The typeface conveys a restrained, editorial sophistication—cool, composed, and slightly formal. Its thin, straight-backed presence feels contemporary while nodding to classic bookish refinement, making it feel quiet rather than decorative or loud.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, minimalist slab-serif look with high refinement: narrow proportions, crisp slab terminals, and a calm, even texture. It prioritizes elegance and typographic poise, aiming for an editorial tone that feels precise and premium rather than robust or rustic.
In the samples, capitals appear especially stately due to their height and fine hairline-like stems, while lowercase keeps a clean, readable texture without heavy modulation. Numerals match the same slender, linear construction, supporting a cohesive typographic color across mixed settings.
