A very thin, italic serif with a crisp, hairline presence and clean, unbracketed slab-like terminals. Letterforms are tall and slightly narrow with generous sidebearings, creating an open, breezy rhythm in text. Strokes show subtle contrast driven by the italic construction, with smooth curves and long, tapered joins; serifs read as small, flat accents rather than heavy blocks. The lowercase has a gentle, calligraphic flow with looping descenders (notably in g, j, y) and a graceful, single-storey a, while the caps stay elegant and restrained with pointed diagonals and fine horizontals.
Best suited for display and short-to-medium text where refinement is the priority: magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, invitations, and elegant pull quotes. It also works well for overlays in lookbooks or campaign graphics when set with generous tracking and ample leading.
The overall tone is sophisticated and understated—more fashion and literary than industrial. Its lightness and elegant italic motion suggest romance, luxury, and quiet confidence, with a classic feel that stays contemporary due to the crisp, simplified terminal treatment.
The design appears intended to deliver an ultra-light italic serif for high-end editorial use, combining classic proportions with crisp, square-ended details to keep the silhouette sharp and modern. Its spacious rhythm and graceful lowercase suggest an emphasis on elegance and atmosphere over rugged text durability.
The thin strokes and extended curves can appear fragile at small sizes or on low-contrast backgrounds, but they produce striking, high-end texture when given space. Numerals follow the same slender, slightly calligraphic logic, pairing well with editorial typography where a refined figure style is desired.
