This typeface is a very slender italic with crisp, unbracketed slab serifs and a clean, calligraphic rhythm. Strokes stay consistently fine, with modest modulation and clear italic stress, giving counters a smooth, drawn quality rather than a purely mechanical one. Serifs are small but decisive and squared off, and terminals tend to end in sharp, tapered cuts that keep the forms lively at a light weight. Proportions are balanced with a moderate x-height, open bowls, and narrow, airy spacing that reads delicate yet controlled in both text and display sizes.
It suits editorial typography where a refined, high-end voice is needed—magazine headlines, pull quotes, and elegant subheads. The delicate stroke weight also works well for branding and packaging that benefits from a premium, minimalist look, especially when set with generous size and spacing.
The overall tone is cultured and understated, combining editorial sophistication with a slightly classical, pen-informed elegance. Its lightness and italic stance make it feel graceful and fashion-aware, while the slab details add a subtle structural firmness.
The design appears intended to deliver an airy, sophisticated italic with the distinctive punctuation of slab serifs—aiming for a modern editorial personality that stays graceful rather than heavy or industrial.
The italic construction is evident across both capitals and lowercase, with smooth joins and carefully shaped curves that avoid heaviness. Numerals follow the same thin, refined treatment, maintaining a consistent texture in mixed alphanumeric settings.
