A very fine-lined serif italic with a light, airy color and crisp, unbracketed slab terminals. The letterforms lean consistently with smooth, drawn curves and restrained modulation, keeping overall contrast subtle while maintaining a sharp, precise edge. Capitals are tall and classical in proportion, while the lowercase shows a gently calligraphic rhythm with flowing joins and a single‑storey italic ‘a’. Numerals are similarly slender and elegant, with ample interior space and understated detailing that supports an even, graceful texture in text.
Well suited to magazine and book typography, pull quotes, and elegant titling where a refined italic voice is desired. It can also serve premium branding, packaging, and invitation work, especially when used with ample spacing and at display sizes to preserve its delicate details.
The tone is poised and cultivated, reading as editorial and upscale rather than utilitarian. Its hairline presence and italic movement suggest sophistication and intimacy, lending a quietly dramatic, boutique feel to headlines and short passages.
The font appears designed to deliver a contemporary, high-end italic serif voice with crisp slab-like terminals and a smooth, calligraphic rhythm. Its goal is more about atmosphere and elegance than robustness, prioritizing grace, openness, and a polished editorial presence.
The design relies on fine strokes and small details (notably in serifs and entry/exit strokes), so it will visually benefit from generous sizes and careful reproduction. The italic slant and open counters help maintain clarity despite the light weight, producing a calm, continuous reading flow in the sample text.
