A delicate, right-leaning slab serif with hairline strokes and crisp, unbracketed terminals. The serifs are small but clearly rectangular, giving the letters a structured baseline while the overall drawing stays light and open. Counters are generous and apertures are wide, creating a smooth, even rhythm in text. The italics are formed with true italic shapes (single-storey a and g, flowing entry/exit strokes), and the figures echo the same spare construction with elegant curves and fine joints.
This font suits fashion and lifestyle editorial layouts, refined branding, and display typography where an airy, upscale texture is desired. It also works for book and longform settings when used at comfortable sizes and with sufficient line spacing to preserve its fine details.
The tone is elegant and editorial, combining a modern lightness with a quietly traditional, bookish feel. Its slender texture and measured slant read as sophisticated and composed rather than attention-seeking.
The design appears intended to deliver a polished italic voice with slab-serif structure—pairing crisp, square-ended serifs with graceful italic cursive construction for a contemporary editorial look.
In the sample text, the thin horizontals and sharp slab ends give a clean sparkle at larger sizes, while long runs of text maintain a consistent, refined color. Round letters show restrained overshoots and smooth curvature, and the italic forms carry a subtle calligraphic movement without becoming script-like.
