A very thin, right-leaning serif face with crisp, squared terminals that read as small slabs at the ends of stems and crossbars. Curves are drawn with a smooth, continuous line and minimal modulation, giving an even, monoline-like rhythm despite the serif structure. Proportions feel compact and slightly tall in the capitals, while the lowercase is small and tidy with long, elegant extenders that create a light, wiry texture. Numerals match the same fine stroke and open forms, maintaining a consistent, understated presence in text.
Best suited to display and larger text settings where its hairline strokes can stay intact—magazine headlines, pull quotes, book or poetry titling, invitation suites, and refined brand wordmarks. It can add a light, stylish accent in short passages, but will be most effective when given generous size and whitespace.
The overall tone is understated and cultured, with a gentle eccentricity that comes from the hairline weight and the insistent italic slant. It feels poised and literary rather than loud, suggesting an editorial or boutique sensibility with a slightly whimsical edge.
The design appears intended to combine classic serif structure with a light, contemporary delicacy: a crisp slab-terminal signature paired with an italic, flowing cadence. The result aims for elegance and personality without heavy contrast or ornament.
Spacing appears relatively open for such thin strokes, helping counters stay clear at larger sizes. The slanted construction and sharp slab terminals create a distinctive mix of formal serif cues and airy, almost handwritten movement.
