A very thin, hairline serif with crisp, square-ended slab-like terminals that read as unbracketed and precisely cut. The overall construction is upright and controlled, with smooth, near-monoline strokes and modest contrast that shows most clearly in joins and curves. Capitals feel tall and stately with generous counters; round letters like O and Q are clean and open, with the Q carrying a fine, understated tail. Lowercase maintains a restrained rhythm, with a single-storey a and g, narrow apertures, and long, fine ascenders/descenders that give the texture a light, vertical emphasis. Numerals are similarly delicate and classical in posture, with thin bowls and straight spines that keep the set consistent at display sizes.
Best suited to display typography where its hairline strokes and crisp terminals can be appreciated—magazine titles, editorial headlines, fashion branding, cultural posters, and refined invitations. It can work for short pull quotes or decks when printed or rendered at sizes large enough to preserve stroke visibility, especially on high-quality paper or high-resolution screens.
The tone is polished and airy, suggesting quiet luxury rather than forceful presence. Its hairline strokes and crisp slab details evoke editorial sophistication and an art-gallery calm, lending a sense of measured formality to headings and short passages. Overall it feels composed, intellectual, and slightly fashion-forward.
The design appears intended to merge a delicate, modern hairline silhouette with squared, slab-like terminal logic for clarity and distinction. It prioritizes elegance and vertical poise, offering a clean, contemporary refinement while retaining enough serif structure to feel editorial and typographic rather than purely decorative.
Spacing appears on the open side, helping counters and thin strokes breathe; at smaller sizes the hairline weight may require careful reproduction and sufficient contrast against the background. The slab-like terminals provide a subtle structural anchor that keeps the design from feeling purely Didone or purely monoline, giving it a distinctive, modern-classical blend.
