A delicate italic slab serif with hairline strokes and crisp, square-ended serifs that meet stems cleanly. Letterforms are tall and gently condensed, with a consistent rightward slant and smooth, continuous curves. Terminals stay sharp and controlled, counters are open, and the overall rhythm feels even and lightly drawn. The numerals follow the same fine, elegant construction, with slender diagonals and subtle, calligraphic inflections.
Best suited to display and short-to-medium text in contexts like magazine headlines, pull quotes, book covers, fashion and luxury branding, and invitations. It also works well for titling systems where an italic voice is desired, especially when set with ample size and whitespace.
The font conveys a refined, literary tone—poised and quiet rather than loud—suited to tasteful, high-end communication. Its airy weight and italic motion feel cultured and slightly old-world, evoking classic editorial typography and formal correspondence.
The design appears intended to provide an elegant italic voice with a modern, unbracketed slab serif structure. It prioritizes finesse and a light editorial presence, offering a distinctive alternative to traditional italic serifs while maintaining a disciplined, typographic finish.
The combination of very thin strokes and slab-like serifs creates a distinctive tension: engineered edges paired with graceful italic flow. At smaller sizes the hairline detailing may require generous size and spacing to preserve clarity, while at display sizes the crisp serif joins and elegant curves become a defining feature.
