This typeface is a very thin, right-slanted serif with long extenders and an open, spacious rhythm. Stems are hairline throughout with minimal contrast, while terminals finish in crisp, squared slab serifs that read as small, flat caps rather than tapered endings. Curves are drawn with generous, elliptical bowls and smooth joins, giving letters a light, buoyant silhouette. Lowercase forms show a tall x-height with long ascenders and descenders, and the overall texture stays consistent across letters and figures, producing an even, airy line of text.
It suits editorial headlines and subheads where a graceful, high-end voice is needed, as well as book covers and cultural or academic materials that benefit from a classical feel. It can also work for invitations and branding when used at larger sizes, where the hairline strokes and crisp slab serifs remain clear.
The tone feels refined and literary, with an understated elegance that suggests editorial sophistication. Its lightness and slanted posture add a gently expressive, slightly old-world character without becoming decorative. The overall impression is calm, cultured, and precise.
The design appears intended to blend the clarity and structure of slab serifs with the finesse of a hairline italic, creating a distinctive, fashion-forward text voice. Its wide, open forms and consistent thin strokes suggest an emphasis on elegance and readability at display and larger text settings.
The design’s extreme fineness makes counters and apertures feel prominent, and the slab serifs provide a clear baseline and cap alignment despite the delicate strokes. Numerals follow the same light, crisp construction, with ample interior space and restrained detailing.
