A very delicate serif with a pronounced italic construction and hairline strokes. The letterforms are narrow and sharply drawn, with crisp, largely unbracketed slab-like serifs that read as thin horizontal terminals rather than soft calligraphic endings. Curves are clean and controlled, with tall ascenders and a slightly condensed rhythm; counters stay open and the overall texture remains light and even on the page. Numerals follow the same thin, linear logic, with generous curves and minimal weight buildup.
Well suited to editorial headlines, magazine typography, book covers, and high-end branding where an elegant italic voice is desired. It can also work for invitations, menus, and title treatments that favor a light, refined serif texture over robustness at small sizes.
The font projects a poised, cultured tone—quietly luxurious and editorial rather than loud or decorative. Its thin strokes and disciplined italic slant feel formal and literary, lending a sense of finesse and restraint.
The design appears intended to combine a contemporary hairline delicacy with crisp, slab-like serif finishing, offering an italic-forward serif that feels modern, polished, and suitable for premium editorial and brand contexts.
The italic is consistent across both uppercase and lowercase, producing a continuous forward motion in text. Spacing appears balanced for display and short passages, but the extremely fine stroke weight gives it a fragile, high-precision presence that will benefit from ample size and contrast in the surrounding layout.
