A hairline serif with extremely thin, consistent stroke weight and expansive proportions. Forms are built from clean, geometric curves and straight stems, with long, sharp serifs and minimal bracketing, giving the letters a crisp, engraved outline feel. Round letters are wide and open, terminals are precise, and joins stay taut and controlled; the lowercase maintains a moderate x-height with narrow counters due to the fine strokes. Numerals and capitals follow the same cool, linear construction, emphasizing horizontal reach and generous spacing.
Best suited to large sizes where the hairline construction and sharp serifs can be appreciated—magazine headlines, logotypes, beauty and luxury branding, and high-end packaging. It can also work for short editorial passages or pull quotes when set with generous size and spacing, but it will be most confident as a display face.
The overall tone is poised and high-end, projecting calm sophistication through its restrained, whisper-thin lines. Its wide stance and delicate detailing read as fashion-forward and architectural, with a distinctly modern editorial polish.
The design appears intended to deliver a refined, contemporary serif voice built on ultra-thin strokes and wide, composed letterforms. Its emphasis on precision, long serifs, and controlled geometry suggests a focus on premium, image-led typography rather than utilitarian text setting.
The extreme fineness of the strokes and long hairlines create a strong “outline-like” presence that favors clean reproduction and ample breathing room. In text, the style presents a light, luminous color on the page, with distinctive silhouettes driven more by proportion and serif detail than by stroke modulation.
