A delicate italic slab serif with hairline strokes, clean joins, and crisp, rectangular terminals that read as small slabs at the ends of stems and horizontals. The drawing is smooth and taut, with a consistent, measured slant and a light, open rhythm across words. Capitals are elegant and slightly elongated, while the lowercase keeps a straightforward, readable structure with single-storey forms and gently curved bowls. Numerals are slim and lightly styled, matching the overall refinement and keeping counters open and uncluttered.
Well suited to editorial design, book jackets, and magazine typography where a refined italic voice is needed for headlines, decks, and pull quotes. It can also support upscale branding and invitations when a light, polished impression is desired, especially at medium to large sizes.
The tone is quiet and sophisticated—more literary than loud—suggesting careful typesetting and a cultured, modern-classic sensibility. Its airy presence and steady italic motion add a subtle sense of warmth and finesse without becoming ornamental.
Likely designed to deliver an elegant italic slab serif for contemporary editorial and display use, combining crisp slab terminals with a restrained, readable italic structure for a cultured, high-end typographic feel.
The italic construction feels disciplined rather than cursive, with restrained entry/exit behavior and consistent stroke endings. Overall spacing appears even and text color stays light, emphasizing whiteness and clarity over density.
