A delicate italic serif with hairline strokes and crisp, unbracketed slab terminals that read as small, square-ended feet rather than flowing wedges. Curves are smoothly drawn and lightly tensioned, while straight strokes keep a consistent thinness, giving the face an intentionally spare, high-end look. Proportions are moderate with a slightly narrow, vertical feeling in the lowercase and a steady, even rhythm across text, aided by open counters and restrained joins.
Best suited to display settings such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, brand marks, and premium packaging where its thin strokes and crisp slab terminals can be appreciated at larger sizes. It can also work for short-form editorial text and titling, especially where a light, sophisticated texture is desired and printing or rendering conditions are favorable.
The overall tone is refined and cultured, with an understated sophistication that feels editorial and fashion-adjacent rather than decorative. Its lightness and italic posture lend a gentle sense of movement, making it feel poised and premium without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended to blend the disciplined, squared-off clarity of slab-like terminals with the elegance of a fine italic, producing a modern editorial serif that prioritizes lightness, cleanliness, and stylish restraint.
The serif treatment stays sharp and geometric, and the italic angle is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals. Numerals appear similarly light and stylized, aligning with the typeface’s minimal, airy texture in continuous reading.
