A very thin, hairline slab serif with square, unbracketed terminals that read as crisp horizontal “caps” at stroke ends. Strokes are consistent and lightly built, with ample counters and generous spacing that creates a bright, open texture in paragraphs. Curves are smooth and restrained, while joints and terminals stay sharp, giving the design a clean, architectural rhythm. Uppercase forms feel stately and measured; lowercase is simple and legible with modest extenders and unobtrusive detailing.
Best suited to display and larger text settings where its hairline construction and crisp slab terminals remain clear—such as magazine headlines, fashion/luxury branding, invitations, and high-end packaging. It can work for short editorial passages when set with comfortable size and leading to preserve its airy texture.
The overall tone is refined and quiet, with a modern-classical sensibility. Its hairline weight and precise slab endings convey sophistication and restraint, suggesting luxury, publishing, and considered design rather than warmth or informality.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary slab serif presence without heaviness—combining precise, square-ended serifs with an ultra-light color for a sleek, premium feel. It prioritizes elegance and typographic finesse, aiming for a distinctive editorial voice in display-oriented contexts.
In text, the delicate strokes and sharp slab terminals produce a lightly striped rhythm that can look especially elegant at larger sizes. Numerals appear similarly slender and formal, aligning with the font’s poised, editorial character.
