A very delicate italic slab serif with hairline strokes and crisp, square-ended serifs that read as small horizontal “flags” on many capitals and ascenders. The letterforms lean consistently with a calm, even rhythm, showing smooth curves, narrow joins, and long, tapered terminals that keep counters open despite the thin weight. Proportions feel moderately tall and slightly narrow, with generous sidebearings that add air and lightness in text. Numerals follow the same slender construction, with simple, clean shapes and minimal ornament.
Well-suited to editorial headlines, book or magazine titling, pull quotes, and short passages where elegance is the priority. It can also serve refined branding, packaging, and invitations when paired with ample whitespace and careful size/contrast choices.
The overall tone is elegant and understated, combining a bookish, classical feel with a light, handwritten grace. It conveys restraint and sophistication rather than boldness, giving text a refined, slightly old-world polish.
The design appears intended to deliver an italic voice that blends formal slab-serif structure with a light, calligraphic flow. Its crisp serifs and consistent slant aim for clarity and poise, while the hairline weight and open spacing emphasize sophistication and a high-end, print-oriented character.
Uppercase forms keep a restrained footprint with subtle slab cues, while the lowercase introduces more cursive motion (notably in letters like a, f, g, y) that increases liveliness in running text. The thin strokes and small serifs create a crisp sparkle at larger sizes, but the design’s delicacy suggests it will look best when given sufficient size and breathing room.
