A very thin, slanted slab serif with a predominantly monoline stroke and gently bracketed, flat-ended serifs. The design leans on tall proportions and generous apertures, with round bowls and smooth curves that keep the texture light and even. Capitals are narrow and elegant, while lowercase forms show a contemporary, simplified construction; overall spacing feels relaxed, supporting a clean rhythm at display sizes. Numerals follow the same delicate logic, with open, airy shapes and minimal stroke modulation.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, and short-form editorial settings where its delicate strokes and italic motion can read clearly. It also fits fashion and beauty branding, refined packaging, and invitation-style typography where an elegant, contemporary serif voice is desired.
The font conveys a poised, airy sophistication with a modern editorial sensibility. Its hairline weight and italic stance read as elegant and understated rather than loud, giving text a cultivated, boutique feel.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern slab-serif interpretation in a hairline italic, balancing crisp slab terminals with smooth, simplified letterforms. It aims for an elevated, editorial tone while maintaining an orderly, workhorse-like consistency across the alphabet and figures.
The slant is consistent across cases and numerals, and the slab serifs are restrained—more about crisp terminals than heavy emphasis. At smaller sizes the extreme thinness may reduce robustness, but at larger sizes it produces a crisp, high-end look.
