A very slender serif with crisp, finely drawn strokes and a largely even weight distribution. Serifs read as small slab-like terminals with subtle bracketing, giving the forms a tidy, engineered finish rather than a calligraphic one. Proportions are generous and open, with wide rounds and ample internal counters; curves are smooth and geometric-leaning while joins stay clean and restrained. The lowercase shows simple, readable construction with a two-storey “g” and a gently curling “j,” and the numerals are light and open with a distinctive, looped “2.”
Well suited to editorial headlines, magazine display, and refined branding where a light, polished serif can add sophistication without heaviness. It also fits invitations, lookbooks, and high-end posters where the open proportions and crisp serifs can be given room to breathe.
The overall tone is quiet and cultivated—minimal yet formal—balancing contemporary cleanliness with a classic editorial sensibility. Its thin presence feels tasteful and upscale, projecting restraint, clarity, and a slightly literary sophistication.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, minimalist take on a slab-influenced serif: very light, spacious, and precise, aiming for an elegant display voice that still reads cleanly in short passages.
In text, the hairline strokes create an intentionally airy color and emphasize spacing and rhythm over weight. The design’s neat terminals and consistent stroke behavior help maintain a composed texture, though the extreme lightness will make it most at home at larger sizes or in carefully printed contexts.
