A very slender, monoline serif with small slab-like terminals and a crisp, drawn-with-a-pen stroke character. The design keeps stroke weight remarkably even, relying on geometry and open counters for clarity rather than contrast. Serifs are minimal and mostly horizontal, with a lightly bracketed feel on some joins, giving the letters a precise, architectural rhythm. Uppercase proportions are elegant and slightly narrow in feel, while the lowercase shows a modest x-height with thin, straight stems and gently rounded bowls; figures are similarly light and tidy.
Best suited for display typography such as headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and logotypes where its fine strokes can stay intact. It also fits fashion, beauty, and luxury-adjacent branding, plus packaging and editorial layouts that can support generous white space and careful reproduction.
The overall tone is refined and understated, with a quiet sophistication that reads as contemporary-classic. Its hairline construction and measured spacing create an airy, premium feel suited to restrained, elegant typography rather than loud display.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern hairline serif with subtle slab-like structure: clean, controlled, and consistent in stroke, prioritizing elegance and a light footprint on the page. It aims for a poised editorial voice that feels precise and minimal without becoming purely geometric.
At text sizes the thin strokes can appear fragile, so it visually rewards generous size, line spacing, and high-contrast printing or rendering. Curves (C, G, O, Q) are smooth and open, and the numerals share the same delicate, consistent stroke behavior for a cohesive page color.
