A very thin, monoline slab-serif italic with unbracketed, squared terminals that read as crisp little caps at the ends of stems and crossbars. The italic construction is consistent and moderately slanted, with narrow curves and open counters that keep the texture light and breathable. Capitals are tall and clean with simple geometry, while the lowercase introduces a more handwritten rhythm—single-storey a and g, soft joins, and long, slightly tapering entry/exit strokes. Numerals are equally slender and rounded, maintaining the same light stroke and upright proportions within the overall slanted system.
Well suited to editorial titling, pull quotes, and short passages where a light, refined texture is desirable. It can also work for packaging and branding that aims for an elegant, boutique feel, and for invitations or cultural materials where a calligraphic italic tone is appropriate.
The overall tone feels elegant and understated, with a quiet, bookish sophistication. Its hairline stroke and subtle slab cues give it a vintage editorial flavor—poised and tasteful rather than loud or industrial.
The design appears intended to blend a crisp slab-serif structure with an italic, handwritten cadence, producing a distinctive hairline voice for refined display and editorial use. The unbracketed slabs add definition to the ultra-light strokes, helping maintain character and rhythm at larger sizes.
Because the stroke is extremely fine, the face will appear sensitive to reproduction and background noise; it reads best where the delicate details and small slabs won’t fill in or disappear. The italic angle and lively lowercase forms create a flowing word shape that favors continuous text over isolated, high-impact display settings.
