This typeface uses extremely thin strokes with crisp, unbracketed slab serifs that read as small horizontal caps at terminals. Proportions are generously set, with roomy sidebearings and broad, open counters that keep the letterforms clear despite the delicate weight. Curves are drawn cleanly and simply, and joins stay sharp rather than softened, giving the design a precise, almost architectural outline. The lowercase is straightforward and legible, with a two-storey “a,” a single-storey “g” with a long, sweeping tail, and a modestly sized dot on “i/j.” Numerals are similarly light and open, with a distinctive, elegantly curved “2” and a narrow, refined “1.”
It performs best in display and large-text contexts such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, luxury branding, and refined poster typography where its hairline construction can remain intact. In editorial settings it can create a light, sophisticated page color when given ample size and leading, making it well suited to minimalist layouts and premium packaging or identity systems.
The overall tone is elegant and restrained, combining fashion-like finesse with a slightly technical, draftsmanship clarity. It feels modern and curated rather than rustic, with a quiet confidence suited to spacious layouts and premium presentation.
The design appears intended to merge the authority and structure of slab serifs with an unusually delicate, fashion-forward weight, producing a contemporary, high-end voice. Its open forms and crisp terminals suggest a focus on clarity and elegance in spacious typographic compositions.
Because the strokes are so fine, the design relies on generous whitespace and clear shapes for readability; it visually rewards larger sizes and high-contrast reproduction. The slab terminals add structure and rhythm without making the font feel heavy, producing a poised, editorial texture in paragraphs and display lines alike.
