The class \(\mathcal S\) of schlicht functions which consists of all univalent (holomorphic) functions \(f\) on the unit disk in the complex plane such that \(f(0)=0\) and \(f'(0)=1\) becomes a compact metric space being equipped with the metric \[ d(f,g)=\sum_{n\ge1}\lambda_n \min\Big\{ 1,\max_{|z|\le r_n}|f(z)-g(z)|\Big\}, \] where \(\lbrace\lambda_n \rbrace\) is a positive sequence with \(\sum_n \lambda_n<\infty\) and \(\lbrace r_n\rbrace\) is a sequence in \((0,1)\) tending to 1. The covering number \(N_{\mathcal S}(\delta)\), \(\delta > 0\) is the minimal number of closed balls of radius \(\delta\) covering \(\mathcal S\). Assuming additionally that \(\lambda_n\asymp\lambda^n\) and \(1-r_n\asymp n^{-\alpha}\) for some \(\lambda\in(0,1)\) and \(\alpha > 0\) it is proved that \(\log^2(1/\delta)\lesssim \log N_{\mathcal S}(\delta) \lesssim \log^{2+\alpha}(1/\delta)\), \(\delta\to0^+\).
