A very delicate, right-leaning serif with crisp, unbracketed slab-like terminals and a hairline stroke throughout. Curves are smooth and open, with restrained modulation and a tidy, consistent rhythm across capitals and lowercase. Proportions feel slightly narrow with generous internal counters; ascenders rise tall and the lowercase keeps a moderate x-height, contributing to an elegant, high-waisted silhouette. Numerals match the lightness and italic slant, reading as understated and finely drawn.
Well suited to editorial typography, fashion and lifestyle branding, and magazine headlines where a light, elegant italic can carry tone. It can also work for pull quotes, invitations, and refined packaging, especially when given ample size and spacing.
The overall tone is refined and understated, with an airy sophistication that reads as editorial and quietly luxurious. Its thin, precise construction feels formal without becoming ornate, lending a poised, cultured voice to longer lines of text.
The design appears intended to combine the clarity of crisp slab-like serifs with the grace of a delicate italic, producing a modern-classic display voice that feels polished and premium. It prioritizes finesse, whitespace, and a smooth reading rhythm over heavy emphasis.
The unbracketed slab terminals and sharp joins create a clean, architectural finish, while the italic angle adds motion and a calligraphic flavor. The very light weight suggests best results at larger sizes or in carefully controlled print/digital settings where fine strokes won’t be overwhelmed.
