This is a sharply slanted serif with extremely slender stems and delicate, tapered terminals. Letterforms are tall and condensed, with a consistent rightward lean and a lively, calligraphic rhythm created by subtle stroke modulation. Serifs are fine and unobtrusive, often reading as wedge-like finishing strokes rather than heavy brackets, keeping the page color very light. Counters are narrow and vertical, while ascenders and capitals feel high-waisted and elongated, reinforcing the font’s verticality and refined silhouette.
Best suited to display and short-to-medium editorial settings where a light, elegant voice is desired—magazine headlines, pull quotes, decks, and upscale branding. It can also work for invitations and cultural materials when used at sufficiently large sizes to preserve its fine detailing.
The overall tone is sophisticated and airy, suggesting editorial polish and a classic, cultivated sensibility. Its narrow, whisper-thin forms feel upscale and fashion-forward, lending a sense of restraint and precision rather than warmth or heaviness.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic text-serif feel through an ultra-slender, italicized, fashion-oriented interpretation. Its priorities seem to be elegance, vertical economy, and a smooth reading rhythm driven by italic calligraphy cues.
In text, the strong slant and compressed proportions produce an energetic, continuous flow, but the hairline construction makes it visually sensitive to size and reproduction conditions. Numerals follow the same tall, narrow, lightly tapered style, matching the text’s refined cadence.
