A very slender italic with crisp, square-ended slab serifs and a clean, controlled stroke. The letterforms lean smoothly with narrow joins and finely tapered terminals, giving an overall hairline impression while keeping edges sharp rather than soft. Capitals are tall and restrained with generous interior space, while the lowercase shows a traditional italic construction (single-story a and g, flowing entry/exit strokes) and relatively long ascenders and descenders. Numerals follow the same light, calligraphic logic, with curved figures and minimal, precise slab details.
Well-suited to editorial typography, book work, and magazine features where an elegant italic voice is needed. It can also perform nicely for invitations, premium packaging, and short headlines or pull quotes where the fine strokes and sharp serifs can be shown at comfortable sizes.
The tone is poised and literary, combining the grace of an italic text face with a slightly editorial sharpness from the slab serifs. It reads as sophisticated and calm, with an understated, boutique elegance rather than overt display drama.
The design appears intended to deliver a refined italic reading experience with a distinctive slab-serif signature—maintaining a light, graceful texture while adding crisp structure at stroke endings. It balances classic italic forms with a clean, contemporary edge.
In text, the rhythm is driven by consistent slant and delicate hairlines, producing an airy texture and clear word shapes. The slab serifs act as small anchors that add definition at the baseline and cap line without making the style feel heavy.
