A very thin, right-leaning slab serif with crisp, unbracketed terminals and a clean, open skeleton. Strokes keep an even, hairline rhythm with only subtle modulation, while flat slab endings appear on many stems and diagonals, giving the design a structured edge despite the light weight. Curves are round and spacious (notably in O/C/G and the bowls of b/p/q), and the spacing feels generous, producing a calm, high-end texture in text. Numerals echo the same linear delicacy, with simple, readable forms and minimal ornament.
Best suited to display sizes where the hairline construction and crisp slab endings can read clearly—magazine headlines, lookbooks, brand identities, and premium packaging. It can also work for short editorial passages or pull quotes when set with comfortable size and leading to preserve its delicate texture.
The overall tone is poised and understated—more boutique and editorial than rugged or industrial. Its combination of razor-thin strokes, italic motion, and squared-off serif finishes conveys a modern, fashion-forward elegance with a slightly quirky, artistic flavor.
The design appears intended to merge the sophistication of a hairline italic with the graphic clarity of squared slab endings, producing a distinctive, contemporary serif voice for high-contrast visual environments and refined typography.
The italic slant is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, creating smooth forward momentum. In the sample text, the thin strokes and open counters keep the page light, while the slab terminals add a subtle architectural snap at the ends of strokes and diagonals.
