A hairline serif with a predominantly monoline stroke and generous internal space. The design mixes crisp straight stems with large, smooth, near-circular bowls, creating a clean geometric rhythm. Serifs are minimal and understated, often reading as fine horizontal terminals rather than bracketed feet, while joins stay sharp and uncluttered. Lowercase forms appear slightly high-waisted with ample apertures and light, open counters; numerals follow the same thin, rounded construction with simple, graceful curves.
Best suited to display typography such as headlines, magazine mastheads, fashion and beauty branding, and refined logotypes. It can also work for invitations and short editorial pull-quotes where its delicate structure and airy spacing can be maintained.
The overall tone is poised and understated, emphasizing lightness and precision. Its thin presence and spacious shapes feel upscale and contemporary, with a calm, gallery-like restraint rather than overt ornament.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver a minimalist, high-end serif impression by combining geometric roundness with extremely fine strokes and restrained serifs. The emphasis is on elegance through proportion and negative space rather than contrast or embellishment.
Round characters (like O/C/G and 0/8/9) are especially prominent, giving the face a smooth, circular backbone. The light stroke and small details suggest it will visually prefer larger sizes and settings where fine lines won’t be lost.
