A very light slab-serif with unbracketed, rectangular serifs and crisp, square joins. Strokes are uniformly thin, giving the face a delicate, hairline appearance with a clean, consistent rhythm. Letterforms are broadly proportioned with generous interior space, open counters, and a straightforward, upright construction; the lowercase shows a tall x-height that keeps small forms readable despite the fine weight. Curves are smooth and restrained, and terminals stay flat and controlled, producing a precise, technical finish across both text and numerals.
Best suited for display typography where its hairline weight and broad shapes can shine—magazine headlines, refined branding, packaging, and poster titles. It can work for short text passages at comfortable sizes, especially in clean layouts that support its light color and crisp slab detailing.
The overall tone is quiet and elegant, with a contemporary, editorial feel. Its hairline slabs read as sophisticated rather than loud, projecting clarity, restraint, and a lightly architectural character.
The design appears intended to blend modern, minimal construction with slab-serif authority, delivering a distinctive hairline slab look that stays orderly and legible. It prioritizes a sleek, spacious texture and a controlled, editorial voice over heavy emphasis or ruggedness.
Because the strokes are extremely thin, the design benefits from ample sizing and spacing where its fine details and slab endings can remain distinct. The numerals and uppercase maintain the same measured, linear logic as the letters, reinforcing a consistent, understated texture in setting.
