A very slender italic slab-serif with hairline strokes, a pronounced forward slant, and crisp, flat-ended terminals that read as tiny slabs. Curves are drawn with smooth, continuous tension and a slightly calligraphic rhythm, while straight stems stay taut and clean. Capitals feel tall and poised with generous interior space; the lowercase is similarly open, with modest ascenders/descenders and a lightly cursive flow that remains typographic rather than script.
Best suited to fashion and lifestyle editorial work, refined headlines, and luxury branding where delicacy is an asset. It can also shine in invitations and short-form packaging or label typography, especially when set with ample size and spacing to preserve its light, crisp detail.
The overall tone is sophisticated and understated, suggesting luxury and restraint rather than boldness. Its thin strokes and graceful italic motion give it a fashion-forward, literary flavor that feels polished and boutique.
The design appears intended to merge the authority of slab-like terminals with the grace of a high-style italic, creating a distinctive, upscale voice. It emphasizes elegance and clarity through open forms, tight stroke control, and a consistent, carefully drawn slant.
The numerals and capitals keep the same fine, controlled construction, maintaining an even, airy color on the page. In text, the italic angle and hairline strokes create an elegant texture with a distinctly refined rhythm that favors display and larger sizes.
