A very fine, hairline serif design with a consistent rightward slant and gently modulated strokes. Serifs read as flattened, slab-like terminals that stay crisp and understated rather than bracketed, giving the letterforms a clean, chiselled finish. The proportions are tall and open, with generous interior spaces and a light rhythm across words; curves are smooth and round while joins remain sharp and controlled. Numerals and capitals feel similarly slender and poised, maintaining even color at display sizes.
Well-suited to editorial titles, magazine layouts, luxury branding, and packaging where a refined, high-end voice is needed. It also works for pull quotes and short passages at larger sizes, especially when ample line spacing and careful contrast with sturdier text faces are available.
The overall tone is polished and cultured, balancing classic bookish refinement with a contemporary fashion sensibility. Its light touch and italic movement convey sophistication and quiet drama rather than utility-first neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, elegant serif voice with the clarity of slab-like terminals and the expressive motion of a true italic. It prioritizes lightness, grace, and visual sophistication for display-led typography.
The italic construction is pronounced, with flowing lowercase forms and graceful entry/exit strokes that add a subtle handwritten cadence without becoming script. Wide, airy spacing and thin horizontals make it feel best when given room, and the crisp slab terminals help preserve structure despite the delicate stroke weight.
