A very slender italic serif with crisp, squared terminals and small slab-like serifs that read as clean, unbracketed attachments. Strokes are consistently thin with minimal modulation, giving the face a light, airy color on the page. Uppercase forms are narrow and poised with long, straight stems and restrained curves; round letters stay open and smooth without heavy stress. The lowercase is similarly delicate and slightly more fluid, with graceful entry strokes and compact bowls, while numerals follow the same fine-line construction and upright-to-italic rhythm.
Well-suited to editorial applications such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, and refined titling where a light italic voice is desired. It also fits formal materials like invitations, packaging accents, and boutique branding, especially when used at larger sizes where the thin strokes remain crisp.
The overall tone is quiet and cultured, leaning toward classic editorial elegance rather than loud display. Its fine weight and italic slant convey sophistication and formality, with a subtle handwritten nuance that feels literary and polished.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-end italic serif with a modern, sharply finished serif treatment—combining classical proportions with a pared-back, hairline construction for elegant, spacious typography.
Because the strokes are extremely thin, spacing and rhythm become the dominant texture; the face looks best when allowed generous size and breathing room. The sharp terminals and slabbed ends help maintain clarity in the italic despite the hairline build.
