A very delicate italic with hairline strokes and crisp, unbracketed slab-like terminals that read as small rectangular serifs. The design leans on narrow, pointed joins and clean, straightened endings rather than soft curves, giving the letters a taut, precise rhythm. Curves are smooth and open, counters stay generous, and the slant is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals. Overall spacing feels even and light, with an emphasis on thin horizontals and long, slightly tensioned diagonals.
Best suited to display use where its thin strokes can stay intact—fashion and lifestyle branding, magazine headlines, pull quotes, and elegant poster typography. It can work for short editorial passages at comfortable sizes with adequate line spacing, but its very light construction favors larger settings and high-quality rendering.
The tone is poised and fashion-forward, mixing classic italic elegance with a sharper, more contemporary edge. Its minimal stroke weight and clean slab terminals create a refined, slightly architectural feel rather than purely romantic calligraphy.
The font appears designed to deliver an elegant italic voice with a distinctive crispness from squared slab terminals, balancing sophistication with a modern, incisive finish for editorial and branding applications.
Capitals are tall and airy with restrained detailing, while lowercase forms keep a simple italic construction with subtle entry/exit strokes. Numerals follow the same hairline logic, looking graceful and understated, and the overall texture in paragraph setting is pale and clean.
