A very thin italic slab serif with long, unbracketed horizontal serifs that read as crisp tabs at stroke ends. The forms are generously spaced and slightly wide, with a smooth, consistent rhythm and minimal modulation in stroke thickness. Curves are clean and open, counters are roomy, and joins stay sharp rather than softened. The italic construction is pronounced, giving capitals and lowercase a forward-leaning, sweeping posture while keeping a disciplined, typographic structure.
Best suited to display settings where its hairline weight and pronounced italic stance can breathe—such as magazine headlines, book covers, section openers, pull quotes, and refined brand typography. It can also work for short runs of larger text where a light, sophisticated texture is desired.
The overall tone is airy and cultivated, mixing a contemporary hairline delicacy with a quietly classical editorial feel. Its strong slant and razor-thin strokes lend an expressive, stylish voice without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver an elegant italic voice with slab-serif punctuation—combining a contemporary, minimal stroke presence with crisp, square-ended serifs for a distinctive editorial signature.
The numerals and capitals maintain a consistent italic angle and a light, controlled presence, while the slab terminals add a distinctive crispness at text sizes. The texture in paragraphs is pale and spacious, emphasizing whiteness and elegance over density.
