A very thin, hairline serif with crisp, minimally bracketed terminals and a clean, controlled drawing. The letterforms show generous interior space and open apertures, with tall ascenders and descenders that lend a vertical, high-waisted silhouette. Curves are smooth and round (notably in O/C/G and the numerals), while straight strokes remain precise, giving a calm, even rhythm in text. The italics are absent in the sample; the upright style maintains a consistent, refined texture and light footprint.
Best suited to display and larger text settings such as magazine headlines, refined editorial layouts, fashion and beauty branding, and elegant packaging. It can work for short-form body text in high-quality print or high-resolution screens where its hairline strokes and fine serifs remain intact.
The overall tone is elegant and restrained, with a contemporary editorial polish rather than overtly historical ornament. Its lightness reads sophisticated and airy, lending a quiet, upscale feel suitable for premium, design-forward settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-end serif voice with an emphasis on lightness, openness, and smooth, vertical elegance. It prioritizes a polished, boutique feel and a graceful reading rhythm over ruggedness or utilitarian neutrality.
At smaller sizes the very thin strokes and fine details (such as the small serifs and the delicate joins on letters like k and y) may require careful size, contrast, and production conditions to preserve clarity. The figures are similarly slender and rounded, matching the text’s refined cadence.
