A very slender slab serif with an open, spacious rhythm and generous sidebearings. Strokes are consistently fine and largely linear, with minimal modulation, while the serifs read as crisp, squared terminals that stay restrained rather than heavy. The design favors tall capitals and clean, geometric curves (notably in O/Q/C), paired with sharp, simple joins and a straightforward, upright posture. Lowercase forms are similarly light and unembellished, with compact counters and simple, vertical stress; numerals follow the same thin, airy construction for a cohesive texture.
Best suited to large-size settings such as headlines, magazine spreads, posters, and refined branding where its thin strokes and airy spacing can be appreciated. It can work for short text passages in high-resolution or print contexts, especially when set with comfortable leading and not too small.
The overall tone is quiet and refined, projecting a poised, editorial sensibility rather than a loud, display-forward personality. Its extreme lightness and tidy slab details give it a modern, composed feel that can read as upscale and measured.
The design appears intended to deliver a clean, contemporary slab-serif voice with a light, high-end presence—combining crisp slab terminals with restrained, modern letterforms for an elegant but practical typographic texture.
At text sizes the hairline weight creates a pale typographic color and a smooth, even cadence, making spacing and line length especially influential on readability. The squared serifs and clean terminals help keep the forms precise and architectural despite the delicacy.
