A very thin, right-leaning slab serif with crisp, straight terminals and small, squared serifs that read as understated slabs rather than wedges. Strokes are hairline throughout with modest contrast and a smooth, continuous rhythm, giving the letterforms a clean, drawn quality. Proportions are relatively narrow with generous interior space; curves are taut and open, and the italic construction shows a consistent forward slant across caps, lowercase, and figures. The overall texture is light and bright on the page, with sharp joins and restrained detailing that keeps the silhouette tidy.
Best suited to display and large-size text where its hairline strokes can remain crisp—editorial headlines, pull quotes, refined branding, invitations, and premium packaging. It can also work for short passages in print where a light, sophisticated italic voice is desired, but it will benefit from ample size and contrast-friendly reproduction.
The font conveys a poised, cultured tone—more editorial and literary than utilitarian—while staying quiet and controlled. Its thin weight and italic motion suggest sophistication and delicacy, suitable for elegant statements rather than heavy emphasis.
Likely designed to blend slab-serif structure with a fashion-forward italic elegance, offering a classic serif voice in an unusually light, airy execution. The aim appears to be a refined, decorative workhorse for high-end editorial and branding contexts where subtle slabs add character without heaviness.
The sample text shows a consistent slant and even spacing that produces a smooth, flowing line despite the slab serif structure. Numerals and capitals maintain the same refined, hairline presence, helping mixed-content settings feel coherent and formal.
