A very thin, right-leaning slab serif with crisp, unbracketed terminals and a clean, continuous rhythm. Strokes are consistently light with minimal modulation, while the italic construction introduces gentle entry/exit flicks and subtly tapered joins. Capitals feel tall and open with generous interior space; lowercase forms keep a moderate x-height and long, graceful extenders, giving the text a lifted, spacious texture. Numerals follow the same hairline logic with simple, legible forms and understated terminals.
Best suited to display and high-end editorial settings such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, book covers, and fashion or beauty branding. It can work for short passages when set generously, but it will be most comfortable where its hairline detailing and elegant italic rhythm can remain clear.
The overall tone is cultured and quietly expressive—more literary than utilitarian. Its airy spacing and delicate strokes suggest sophistication and restraint, with an italic cadence that reads as elegant rather than flashy.
The font appears designed to combine the clarity of slab terminals with a refined italic voice, aiming for a contemporary editorial serif that feels light, stylish, and precise. Its emphasis is on graceful texture and typographic tone rather than rugged readability.
The design relies on fine stroke weight and sharp slab endings for character, so it visually rewards larger sizes and careful contrast management in print or on screen. The italic slant is pronounced enough to create motion in lines of text while staying disciplined and consistent across the set.
