A very thin, hairline serif design with square, unbracketed slab terminals and a clean, linear construction. Strokes stay consistently light, with minimal modulation and sharp, right-angled joins at serifs that read as crisp caps rather than soft wedges. Proportions are moderately narrow-to-regular with generous counters and clear apertures, and the overall rhythm feels measured rather than compressed. Numerals and capitals maintain an elegant, restrained geometry, while the lowercase keeps a straightforward, readable skeleton with simple, tidy serifs and fine dots on i/j.
Best suited to editorial headlines, pull quotes, and titling where a refined hairline look is desired. It can work well for branding, packaging, and invitation-style materials that benefit from a clean, cultured serif voice, and it will be most comfortable at medium-to-large sizes where the thin strokes and fine serifs remain clear.
The font conveys a quiet, elegant tone—more gallery placard than loud headline. Its hairline weight and precise slab details give it a cultivated, editorial feel with a subtle contemporary sharpness.
The design appears intended to combine the stability of square slab serifs with an ultra-light, sophisticated palette, creating a serif that feels structured and modern while staying understated and elegant.
Because the serifs are thin and square, they remain visually present even at light weight, adding structure without heaviness. In the text sample, spacing feels even and controlled, producing a smooth, lightly textured paragraph color that stays crisp but delicate.
