A very thin, monoline slab serif with crisp, squared terminals and small, flat serifs that read as precise rather than heavy. Curves are smooth and nearly geometric, with open counters and generous inner space that keep forms clear despite the light stroke. Proportions feel balanced and measured, with a tidy cap height and a moderate x-height; spacing is on the open side, creating a clean rhythm in text. Numerals and capitals maintain a consistent, restrained construction, while lowercase forms stay simple and legible with minimal ornament.
Best suited to editorial headlines, fashion or lifestyle branding, and premium packaging where a delicate slab serif can add structure without visual heaviness. It also fits invitations, lookbooks, and display typography that benefits from generous spacing and crisp letterforms.
The overall tone is cool, poised, and modern—more gallery and magazine than rustic or retro. Its hairline presence conveys sophistication and restraint, giving layouts a sense of calm precision and premium finish.
The design appears intended to merge the clarity and order of a rational slab serif with a hairline, high-end display sensibility, offering a structured alternative to traditional Didone-style elegance while keeping the stroke logic strictly monoline.
The slab details are understated and function more as structural punctuation than decorative weight, helping maintain alignment and clarity in all-caps settings. The light strokes suggest it will shine best at larger sizes or in high-contrast reproduction where its fine details can remain intact.
