A very thin, slanted slab-serif with crisp, unbracketed terminals and a deliberately airy color on the page. Strokes stay consistently light, with smooth curves and sharp, flat serif endings that read as small rectangular caps rather than tapered wedges. Proportions feel tall and elegant, with long ascenders/descenders, open counters, and a clean rhythm in text; the italics are built into the structure rather than added as a mere slant. Numerals and capitals keep the same hairline discipline, giving the overall texture a finely drawn, high-end look.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and short-to-medium editorial settings where its delicate slabs and italic motion can be appreciated. It can also work for premium branding and packaging—especially in larger sizes or high-resolution print—where a light, refined typographic signature is desired.
The tone is polished and literary, suggesting fashion/editorial sophistication without becoming ornate. Its lightness and poised slant create a quiet, cultivated voice—more gallery label than billboard—suited to minimalist, premium communication.
The design appears intended to merge the sophistication of an italic text tradition with the crisp presence of slab terminals, producing a distinctive, high-fashion serif voice in an extremely light drawing. It prioritizes elegance and spacing-driven rhythm over heavy emphasis.
Joins and terminals remain square and precise, which keeps the design feeling modern despite its classical italic cues. The spacing appears generous, helping the hairline strokes maintain clarity in longer lines, while the slab accents add definition to stems and diagonals.
