A very fine, hairline italic with crisp, unbracketed slab serifs and a clean, drawn-with-a-pen sharpness. The letters lean consistently with smooth, continuous curves and thin joining points, producing an even, lightly textured rhythm across words. Serifs are small but distinct and squared off, giving a precise, engineered finish to otherwise graceful forms. Counters are open and round, ascenders are tall and slender, and the overall spacing reads airy, favoring clarity and elegance over dense color.
Best suited to display and larger-setting applications such as magazine headings, pull quotes, fashion and beauty branding, and elegant invitations or packaging. Its extremely light strokes and airy color also work well for high-end identity systems where subtlety is desired, while very small sizes or low-contrast printing may reduce legibility.
The tone is poised and cultured, balancing classic editorial sophistication with a slightly fashion-forward lightness. Its thin strokes and controlled italic slant feel premium and intentional, suggesting refinement rather than casual handwriting.
The design appears intended to deliver a luxurious, high-precision italic voice by pairing hairline strokes and smooth curves with squared slab serifs. This combination aims to create an upscale, editorial feel that remains crisp and structured in titles and short passages.
In text, the font maintains a calm, steady cadence, with punctuation and figures matching the same delicate, italicized logic. The numerals and capitals preserve the sharp slab terminals, which adds a subtle structural contrast to the flowing curves and helps headings feel crisp without becoming heavy.
