A very delicate italic slab serif with unbracketed, square-ended serifs and a consistently thin, hairline-like stroke throughout. The letterforms are narrow-to-moderate in footprint with generous internal space, and the italic slant is steady rather than calligraphic. Curves are smooth and slightly drawn-out, while joins remain crisp, giving a precise, engineered feel. Caps are tall and elegant, lowercase keeps a moderate x-height, and the figures follow the same light, linear construction with clear, simple outlines.
Best suited to display and short-to-medium editorial settings where its hairline strokes and crisp slabs can be appreciated—magazine headlines, pull quotes, book covers, fashion or cultural branding, and refined packaging. It can work in larger text sizes for a light, airy reading texture when sufficient size and contrast are available.
The overall tone is poised and understated, reading as contemporary refinement rather than ornate vintage. Its lightness and measured slant lend a quiet, editorial sophistication with a slightly technical, architectural edge.
The font appears designed to merge the clarity and structure of slab serifs with a minimalist, fashion-forward italic voice. The intent seems to be an elegant, modern display serif that stays crisp and legible through disciplined proportions and restrained detailing.
The design relies on contrast of geometry—straight stems and square serifs against rounded bowls—so it feels clean even at display sizes. Counters stay open and punctuation-like details (such as terminals and hooks) remain restrained, supporting a calm, even texture in text.
