A very thin, hairline serif design with small slab-like terminals and crisp, squared finishes. Strokes stay largely uniform, giving the letterforms a clean, linear rhythm, while bowls and curves are drawn with generous openness. Capitals are stately and narrow-to-moderate in feel with long, straight stems; the lowercase shows a traditional structure with a two-storey a, a single-storey g with an open loop, and a distinctive Q featuring a swash-like tail inside the bowl. Numerals are similarly fine and elegant, with ample counters and minimal modulation, producing a precise, lightly constructed texture in text.
Best suited to display sizes where the hairline construction can remain crisp—magazine headlines, luxury branding, and elegant packaging or invitations. It can work for short editorial subheads and pull quotes when reproduction is high quality, but its delicate strokes are likely to lose presence in small sizes or low-contrast printing/screen conditions.
The overall tone is poised and sophisticated, balancing classic bookish cues with a contemporary, minimal line weight. It reads as calm and premium, with an understated fashion/editorial character and a slightly architectural neatness in the terminals.
The design appears intended to deliver a refined slab-serif voice with minimal stroke weight, pairing classic proportions and readable forms with a modern, delicate finish for premium, high-end typography.
The extreme thinness makes spacing and counters especially prominent, and the small slabs help maintain clarity and directionality without adding visual heft. In running text, the rhythm is smooth and consistent, with punctuation and dots appearing light but crisp.
