A very slender italic serif with hairline strokes and crisp, square-ended serifs that read as small slabs. The forms are narrow and taut, with a consistent rightward slant and clean, unbracketed joins. Curves are smooth and open, counters are generous, and terminals tend toward sharp, cut-off finishes rather than soft teardrops. Overall spacing feels even and measured, supporting a light, high-end texture in continuous text.
Best suited to editorial settings where a graceful italic voice is desired—magazine features, pull quotes, chapter openers, and refined branding. It also works well for invitations and luxury packaging where light, crisp letterforms can be given ample space. Because of the extremely thin stroke weight, it will be most effective at moderate-to-large sizes and in high-contrast print or screen conditions.
The tone is poised and cultivated, combining a bookish classicism with a fashion-forward lightness. Its thin, slanted rhythm suggests sophistication and restraint, giving text a quiet, editorial elegance rather than a loud display personality.
The design appears intended to provide an elegant, modernized take on an italic serif with sharp, slab-like finishing—prioritizing refinement, clean geometry, and a light typographic color for upscale composition.
Uppercase letters maintain a restrained, formal silhouette, while the lowercase shows a more written, slightly calligraphic flow—especially in letters like a, f, g, and y. Numerals are similarly thin and refined, matching the alphabet’s delicate rhythm and maintaining clarity at larger sizes.
