This typeface is an italic slab serif with a very light, hairline-like weight and a noticeably wide stance. Strokes show moderate contrast, with crisp transitions into flat, square-ended slab serifs that read unbracketed and clean. Curves are broad and open, counters are generous, and the overall rhythm feels calm and horizontal, aided by long extenders and sweeping italic entry/exit strokes. The lowercase features a single-storey a and g, delicate terminals, and a slightly calligraphic flow without becoming script-like.
It suits display and short-to-medium editorial settings where an elegant, spacious texture is desirable—magazine headlines, book or chapter titles, fashion branding, and refined posters. It can also work for upscale invitations or packaging, particularly when printed well and given ample size and leading.
The tone is refined and literary, suggesting classic print sensibilities with a modern, airy delicacy. Its wide proportions and gentle italic movement convey sophistication and poise rather than urgency, giving text a polished, editorial character.
The design appears aimed at combining the authority of slab serifs with an unusually light, wide, italic construction—prioritizing elegance, openness, and a distinctive horizontal sweep for contemporary editorial and display typography.
At text sizes the thin joins and hairline serifs can appear fragile, while at larger sizes the crisp slab endings and expansive curves become a defining stylistic feature. The numerals follow the same light, wide construction, with open forms and subtle italic slant that keeps them consistent with the letterforms.
