A very thin, hairline slab serif with crisp, unbracketed rectangular serifs and largely monolinear strokes. Curves are drawn with smooth, near-circular geometry (notably in C, O, Q, and the bowls), while terminals and joins stay sharp and precise. Proportions feel balanced and fairly classical in the capitals, with slightly generous sidebearings that create an open, elegant rhythm. Lowercase forms are clean and restrained, with a modest x-height, round dots on i/j, and straightforward, lightly constructed numerals that maintain the same delicate stroke logic.
Best suited to display typography: magazine headlines, book covers, pull quotes, and elegant titling where the hairline weight can breathe. It can also work for premium branding and packaging—especially where a minimalist, high-end impression is desired and reproduction is clean.
The overall tone is quiet and cultured—more gallery catalog than storefront. Its extreme lightness and crisp slabs give it a modern, architectural poise, while the classic serif skeleton keeps it feeling literary and composed rather than experimental.
The design appears intended to merge a contemporary hairline aesthetic with the authority of slab serifs, prioritizing clarity of structure, generous openness, and a polished, editorial finish over robustness at small sizes.
At text sizes the hairline strokes read best in high-contrast settings; in the sample, the spacious spacing and fine details emphasize a refined, premium feel. Distinctive touches like the tapered Q tail and the sharp, linear construction of diagonals (V/W/X/Y) reinforce a precise, technical elegance.
