A very thin, slanted slab serif with crisp, unbracketed terminals and a clean, open construction. Strokes stay largely even in weight, with straight, square-ended serifs that read as small caps-like plates on many stems. Curves are tall and slightly condensed in feel, and several letters show gentle, calligraphic inflections—most noticeably in the angled joins and the softly tapering entry/exit on some lowercase forms. Overall spacing feels generous and the rhythm is light and airy, with prominent ascenders and descenders contributing to a long vertical profile.
This font is well suited to display settings such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, and elegant branding where a light, refined italic voice is desired. It can also work for short editorial passages, invitations, and premium packaging when set at comfortable sizes with sufficient line spacing to preserve its delicate details.
The tone is poised and cultured, combining a delicate, fashion-forward lightness with a subtly bookish, editorial seriousness. Its slanted posture and razor-thin lines give it a tasteful sophistication that feels contemporary while nodding to classic serif traditions.
The design appears intended to deliver an ultra-light italic slab serif that feels crisp and modern, pairing sharp unbracketed serifs with an airy text color for upscale editorial and brand-led typography.
The italic construction is clear across both cases, with a consistent rightward slant and lively, slightly asymmetric curves. Uppercase forms keep a stately presence through height and crisp serifs, while the lowercase adds personality via narrow counters and occasional hooked terminals; figures appear similarly light and drawn with the same sharp, squared finishing.
