A very thin, hairline serif with small slab-like terminals and a clean, even stroke rhythm. Letterforms are narrowly proportioned with generous internal space, producing an open, airy texture even at larger sizes. Curves are smooth and nearly monoline, with restrained, squared-off serifs that read as delicate brackets or tiny slabs rather than sharp wedges. The lowercase shows a classic book-hand influence with a two-storey “g,” a compact “a,” and a lightly hooked “f,” while numerals are slender and elegant with subtle calligraphic inflections in the curves.
Best suited to fashion and lifestyle editorial design, luxury branding, and elegant packaging where a light, polished voice is desired. It performs especially well for headlines, pull quotes, and large-size typography where the fine serifs and spacious forms can be appreciated.
The overall tone is refined and quiet, conveying luxury and restraint rather than impact. Its extreme lightness and crisp terminals suggest modern editorial sophistication with a hint of classical formality.
The design appears intended to deliver a minimal, high-end serif expression by pairing hairline strokes with understated slab terminals, balancing classical proportions with a modern, pared-back finish.
In the sample text, the thin strokes and small serifs create a pale typographic color that benefits from generous spacing and high-resolution output. Delicate joins and hairline horizontals can visually soften in dense paragraphs, while titles and short lines retain a graceful, architectural feel.
