A very thin slab-serif with crisp, unbracketed terminals and a consistent, even stroke color. The letterforms are built from straight-sided stems and generously open bowls, with small, square serifs that read as precise horizontal caps rather than calligraphic details. Curves are smooth and restrained, counters stay wide, and spacing feels measured, giving the face an airy rhythm. Numerals follow the same light, architectural construction, maintaining a clean baseline and uniform presence alongside the text.
Best suited to editorial headlines, pull quotes, and high-end branding where a thin, sharp slab-serif can provide a distinctive voice without heavy contrast. It also works well on posters, packaging, and titling in layouts that allow generous whitespace and comfortable line spacing.
The overall tone is quiet, poised, and design-forward—more gallery label than newspaper. Its hairline construction and squared finishing details suggest a contemporary take on classical book typography, projecting restraint, clarity, and a lightly sophisticated mood.
The design appears intended to deliver a minimalist slab-serif presence with a cultured, typographic feel—combining precise square serifs and thin strokes to create an elegant, contemporary display texture that still reads as serifed and structured.
At text sizes the extreme lightness and small slab terminals create a delicate texture, so the type benefits from ample size, leading, and contrast against the background. The forms remain readable thanks to open apertures and uncomplicated shapes, but the style is more about refinement than robustness.
