A hairline serif with tall proportions and a clean, architectural rhythm. Strokes are consistently slender with restrained modulation, and the serifs read as small, flat-ended slabs that stay crisp rather than bracketed. Curves are smooth and controlled, while horizontals and verticals feel carefully balanced, producing an overall light, linear color on the page. Uppercase forms look stately and elongated; lowercase maintains a similarly refined build with simple, open counters and unobtrusive terminals.
Best suited to display settings such as magazine headlines, large-scale editorial typography, branding wordmarks, and boutique packaging where its hairline structure can stay crisp. It can work for short subheads or pull quotes with ample size and contrast, but will generally perform most confidently where fine detail is not pressured by small text or low-quality output.
The tone is polished and high-end, with a quiet, modern classicism. Its fine strokes and tidy slab finishing give it a poised, fashion-adjacent feel that suggests sophistication without ornament. Overall it reads as calm, precise, and gently luxurious.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, fashion-forward serif voice by combining very fine strokes with neat, square-ended slab serifs. It emphasizes verticality and clarity over decorative flourish, aiming for a premium display texture that feels both modern and classically informed.
Because the design is so thin, it relies on generous spacing and clear reproduction to keep details from fading. The numerals follow the same airy construction, lending a cohesive, minimal look for dates, prices, and short data strings.
