A typeface style with a lighter (thinner) weight than the Regular can be called “Light.”

It is one of the most common weights in Latin typefaces (along with Regular and Bold). However, many other terms exist for weight styles on the Design Space spectrum, such as Thin, Book, ExtraLight or Hairline.
