A delicate italic slab serif with very thin, even strokes and crisp, square-ended serifs that read as small slabs rather than tapered terminals. The letterforms are slightly condensed in feel with generous interior space, producing an open, airy texture in text. Curves are smooth and near-monoline, while joins and serifs stay sharply cut, giving a clean, precise rhythm. Capitals show classical proportions with restrained modulation, and the numerals match the light, linear construction for consistent color across mixed content.
Well suited to editorial settings where a light, refined italic can carry headlines, pull quotes, or short passages with a distinctive voice. It can also work for book interiors, literary branding, and formal invitations when set at comfortable sizes with ample line spacing.
The overall tone is elegant and understated, leaning literary and editorial rather than loud or decorative. Its light touch and italic motion suggest sophistication and tact, with a quietly modern clarity from the crisp slab details.
The design appears intended to combine a classic italic writing rhythm with crisp slab-anchored endings, creating a cultured, printable texture that stays light and composed. The focus seems to be on elegance and readability through open counters, consistent stroke economy, and disciplined serif geometry.
The italic slant is steady and controlled, and the thin hairline construction makes the face feel best when given breathing room. Counters stay open and the serifs remain visually present despite the low stroke weight, reinforcing the slab character without adding heaviness.
