A very delicate italic serif with hairline strokes, crisp unbracketed slab-like serifs, and a smooth, continuous rhythm. The forms are narrow and tall with generous internal space, and the slant is consistent across both capitals and lowercase. Curves are drawn with a light, even hand—rounds stay open and clean—while terminals and serifs remain sharp and planar. Numerals and capitals keep the same refined, linear construction, giving the set a cohesive, poised texture in text.
Best suited for display and editorial settings where refinement is the goal: magazine headlines, pull quotes, fashion and beauty branding, and elegant invitations or packaging. It can also work for short text passages when set with comfortable size and spacing to preserve its delicate details.
The overall tone feels sophisticated and literary, combining a fashion-forward italic grace with a restrained, classical finish. Its lightness reads as premium and ceremonial rather than casual, lending a sense of quiet luxury and precision.
This design appears intended to deliver a high-end italic voice that balances calligraphic motion with crisp, square-ended serifs, creating an upscale, contemporary-classic impression for titles and sophisticated typography.
In the sample text, the thin strokes and sharp serifs create a bright page color and a slightly sparkling texture, especially at smaller sizes. The italic angle and slim joins emphasize flow and continuity, while the slab-like serifs add a subtle architectural firmness to the otherwise airy letterforms.
