A very slender italic serif with crisp, square-ended slab details that read as fine horizontal “caps” rather than heavy brackets. Strokes are consistently thin, with smooth curves and gently tapered joins, creating a clean, airy texture on the page. Proportions are relatively narrow with tall ascenders/descenders, and the italic angle is steady and moderately pronounced. Terminals on letters like a, c, f, j, y, and z show subtle calligraphic flicks, while capitals maintain a restrained, classical construction with sharp apexes and neatly cut serifs.
It suits editorial layouts, book jackets, pull quotes, and refined branding where a light, italic voice is desirable. It can also work well for invitations and upscale packaging when used at comfortable sizes with generous leading to preserve its delicate structure.
The overall tone is poised and understated—more bookish and cultured than loud or decorative. Its lightness and steady italic rhythm suggest formality, polish, and a quiet, editorial elegance.
The likely intention is an elegant, contemporary take on an italic slab-serif voice: pairing crisp, square serif cuts with a calligraphic flow to deliver a refined, literary texture without relying on heavy stroke contrast.
The design favors whitespace and a refined cadence, which helps longer text feel open and uncluttered. Curved letters (C, G, O, Q) are drawn with smooth, continuous contours, and the numerals follow the same delicate, italicized logic for a cohesive text color.
