A very thin, monoline serif with generous counters and a clean, open rhythm. The construction leans geometric with near-circular bowls (notably in O and o) and smooth, continuous curves, paired with delicate, understated serifs and tapered terminals. Strokes stay even and light throughout, with sharp joins and careful spacing that keeps forms legible despite the hairline weight. Numerals and lowercase share the same restrained, crisp drawing, giving the set a consistent, polished texture in text.
Best suited for display settings such as magazine headlines, lookbooks, luxury branding, and packaging where delicacy and whitespace are part of the aesthetic. It can also work for short editorial passages and pull quotes at comfortable sizes with sufficient line spacing and contrast.
The overall tone is quiet and elegant, projecting a modern, curated feel rather than traditional warmth. Its hairline presence reads as premium and fashion-forward, with an airy sophistication suited to high-end, minimal layouts.
The font appears designed to deliver a contemporary hairline serif experience: minimal, geometric clarity combined with subtle serif cues to add sophistication without heaviness. Its consistent, light stroke and open shapes prioritize elegance and visual calm in modern editorial composition.
The design’s thin horizontals and fine details suggest it will benefit from ample size and supportive contrast in layout. Round characters remain especially prominent, giving paragraphs a smooth, floating color on the page.
