A very thin, crisp slab serif with straight, minimally braced stems and small, squared serifs that read as precise rather than heavy. Curves are smooth and controlled, with round forms (O, Q, 8, 9) drawn in clean ellipses and terminals that stay sharp. Proportions are compact with modest extenders; the lowercase is simple and legible with open counters, a single‑storey g, and restrained joins. Numerals are similarly light and linear, keeping a consistent stroke rhythm with small, tidy serifs where applicable.
Well suited to fashion and lifestyle editorial design, refined headlines, mastheads, and premium branding where a delicate slab serif can add structure without looking heavy. It can work nicely for short text blocks, pull quotes, and packaging copy when set with generous size and spacing.
The overall tone is elegant and understated, suggesting a modern editorial voice with a slightly classical finish. Its hairline weight and crisp serifing create a sense of luxury and restraint, more about finesse than warmth or playfulness.
The design appears intended to translate the stability of a slab serif into a light, contemporary register—prioritizing clean geometry, crisp serifing, and a calm rhythm for upscale display typography.
The thin strokes and sharp details give it a high-end look but also make it visually sensitive to size and reproduction conditions; it will appear most confident when given enough space and contrast against the background.
