A very slender italic slab-serif with crisp, square-ended terminals and small, unbracketed serifs that read as neat horizontal wedges. The stroke weight stays largely even, giving a clean, low-modulation rhythm, while the italic construction adds gentle forward motion and a slightly calligraphic flow. Capitals are narrow and elegant with restrained detailing; the round letters keep open counters and smooth curves. The lowercase is lively and readable, with a single-storey a, a long-armed f, and a compact g, all maintaining consistent spacing and a light, airy color in text.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, book interiors, pull quotes, and refined headlines where a light italic voice is desired. It can also serve upscale branding and invitation work when set at moderate sizes with generous leading to preserve its airy texture.
The overall tone feels cultured and literary—polished enough for editorial use while staying understated and graceful. Its thin, slanted forms suggest sophistication and a quiet, poetic voice rather than loud display.
The design appears intended to combine the disciplined presence of slab serifs with an elegant italic slant, creating a distinctive reading texture that feels both traditional and contemporary. Its light weight and controlled details suggest a focus on tasteful, high-end typography rather than rugged utility.
In running text, the italic angle and fine slabs create a distinctive sparkle, with clear word shapes and a slightly formal cadence. Numerals follow the same delicate construction, with open, rounded forms and light, crisp terminals that harmonize with the letterforms.
