A very slender slab-serif with hairline-like strokes and crisp, square terminals. Serifs are small, unbracketed, and consistently applied, giving the design a clean, architectural finish rather than a calligraphic one. Proportions lean tall and narrow with generous internal whitespace; round forms stay smooth and restrained, while joins and curves remain precise. Overall spacing reads open and even, producing a light, quiet texture in text and a neat, high-contrast silhouette at larger sizes.
Works well for editorial headlines, book and magazine covers, and refined brand identities where a delicate slab-serif voice is desired. It also suits invitations, menus, and packaging that benefit from an elegant, minimal typographic texture. Best used where sufficient size and contrast can preserve its thin detailing.
The tone is refined and reserved, balancing a classic editorial feel with a minimalist, contemporary lightness. Its thin construction and tidy slabs suggest a curated, boutique sensibility—more poised than loud—suited to elegant settings where typographic subtlety is part of the message.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, pared-back slab-serif interpretation with a distinctly lightweight presence. It prioritizes crisp geometry, consistent serif treatment, and airy spacing to achieve sophistication without visual heaviness.
In the sample text, the airy rhythm and sharp serif edges create a distinctly “engraved” clarity, especially in capitals and numerals. The figures are similarly light and linear, aligning well with the overall vertical emphasis and contributing to a composed, high-end impression.
