A very thin, slanted slab-serif with crisp, unbracketed terminals and an overall monolinear feel. Serifs read as small, flat caps that join the strokes squarely, while curves stay smooth and open, keeping counters generous. The capitals are narrow and graceful with sharp apexes and lightly tapered joins; the lowercase shows a gently calligraphic rhythm with round, single-storey forms (notably the a and g) and modest, tidy ascenders/descenders. Numerals share the same delicate construction and fine, even stroke weight, giving the set a consistent, airy texture.
This style fits best in display-to-text crossover roles where an elegant, italic voice is desired: magazine features, book jackets and chapter heads, fashion and beauty branding, boutique packaging, and formal invitations. It will be most effective at larger sizes or in high-resolution output where the delicate slab details remain clear.
The tone is quiet and cultured—more editorial and literary than utilitarian. Its hairline presence and italic flow suggest sophistication and restraint, creating a poised, high-end atmosphere suited to premium or classical contexts.
The design appears intended to combine the structure of a slab serif with the finesse of a thin italic, producing a distinctive, refined reading experience. Its square, unbracketed serifs provide a subtle backbone, while the airy stroke weight and gentle italic cadence aim for sophistication rather than emphasis.
The overall color on the page is light and shimmering, with fine details in serifs and joins that will reward ample size and comfortable spacing. The italic slant and slender strokes create a graceful forward motion, especially in mixed-case setting and longer phrases.
