This typeface is a slender italic serif with crisp, squared terminals that read as small slab-like serifs. Strokes remain largely even, with gently tapered joins and open, rounded bowls that keep the texture light and airy. The italic angle is moderate and consistent, giving letters a smooth forward rhythm; capitals are narrow and classical in proportion, while the lowercase shows lively movement in forms like the single-storey a and g and a long, curling f. Numerals are similarly slim and evenly drawn, matching the font’s restrained, linear color.
It suits editorial typography, book interiors, and magazine features where an italic voice is needed with a refined, serifed character. It can also work well in branding or invitations for a cultured, understated tone, especially at larger sizes where the crisp terminals and graceful curves are most evident.
The overall tone is literary and poised, suggesting a quiet sophistication rather than display exuberance. Its forward slant and delicate detailing convey a polished, editorial feel that can read as both traditional and contemporary.
The design appears intended to provide an elegant italic companion with a clean, squared-serif finish, balancing classical proportions with a slightly sharpened, modern terminal treatment. It prioritizes smooth reading rhythm and a light typographic color for refined text settings.
Serifs and terminals tend to end in squared, flat cuts, contributing a subtly architectural sharpness even at light weight. Spacing appears generous, and the italic rhythm is smooth enough to form continuous lines of text without feeling nervous.
