A very thin slab-serif design with near-monoline strokes and small, squared serif cues that read as sharp, architectural brackets. The forms are tall and compact, with generous internal whitespace and a light, airy color on the page. Curves are smooth and controlled, while joins and terminals stay crisp, creating a precise, slightly formal texture in text.
Best suited for display typography where its hairline strokes can be preserved: magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, invitations, packaging, and refined poster work. It can also work for short pull quotes or deck text in spacious layouts, but will generally need ample size and contrast in printing or on-screen rendering.
This typeface feels delicate and refined, with a quiet, editorial tone. Its hairline construction and crisp terminals give it a poised, boutique sensibility—more about elegance and detail than impact.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-end, fashion-leaning serif voice at large sizes, using extreme lightness and compact proportions to create a distinctive, upscale texture. The slab-like serif cues add structure and punctuation to the thin strokes, helping the letters stay articulate despite the minimal weight.
The numerals and capitals maintain the same thin, controlled construction, producing a consistent, pale text color. In the sample text, the overall rhythm is calm and measured, with crisp serifs and slim stems giving a slightly engraved, high-contrast-in-feel impression even though stroke widths remain largely uniform.
