A very slender italic serif with hairline-like strokes and a crisp, engraved feel. The letterforms lean consistently with a smooth, flowing rhythm, combining tapered joins and fine terminals with small, sharp serifs. Capitals are open and quietly stately, while the lowercase shows a more calligraphic ductus—noticeably in the long ascenders, the curled ear and tail details, and the gently looping descenders. Counters are generous and the overall color stays light and spacious, with punctuation and numerals drawn in the same delicate, slightly mannered style.
Well-suited to editorial typography, pull quotes, headings, and short-form text where a refined italic can carry the voice. It also fits fashion and beauty branding, invitations, and other premium applications that benefit from a delicate, classic serif presence. Used in UI or dense body text, it will perform best with ample size and generous leading to preserve its airy texture.
The font conveys a poised, cultured tone—more bookish and boutique than utilitarian. Its thin, graceful italic voice suggests sophistication and a touch of romantic formality, suitable for settings where a subtle, high-end impression is desired.
The design appears intended as a sophisticated, text-oriented italic with a contemporary lightness and a traditional serif foundation. Its purpose is to provide an elegant, expressive reading rhythm and a polished tone for editorial and brand-driven typography rather than a rugged, workhorse style.
The italics are not merely slanted; they are structurally cursive, with distinctive entry/exit strokes and nuanced terminals that create an elegant line in text. At larger sizes the fine details and sweeping curves read as a feature, while at smaller sizes the extremely light stroke weight will demand careful contrast and spacing choices.
