A very light, slanted serif with crisp, finely tapered strokes and small, bracketed slab-like terminals. The letterforms are narrow and tall with a clean, even rhythm; curves stay smooth and open, and the joins are kept sharp rather than soft. Serifs read as thin wedges and short slabs, giving the face a gently anchored baseline despite the hairline weight. Lowercase has a restrained, book-italic construction with long ascenders/descenders and modest, elegant entry/exit strokes.
Best suited to editorial headlines, pull quotes, magazine titling, and other display-to-subhead settings where its fine strokes can stay crisp. It also fits refined branding, menus, and invitation-style collateral, especially in larger sizes or high-resolution output where the delicate serifs won’t fill in.
The overall tone is cultured and poised—more literary than utilitarian—suggesting fashion, publishing, and boutique branding. Its lightness and slant add a sense of motion and sophistication, while the understated slab serifs keep it from feeling overly ornate.
The design appears intended to blend a modern hairline italic voice with subtle slab-serif structure, producing an elegant, contemporary reading of a classic editorial italic. It prioritizes grace and verticality over robustness, aiming for a light, premium texture in short to medium lengths of text.
Numerals are similarly slender and elegant, with the 2 and 3 showing calligraphic curves and the 0 remaining simple and open. Capital forms are clean and classical, and the texture in text is bright and airy, benefiting from generous spacing and consistent stress.
