A very slender italic slab serif with crisp, unbracketed serifs and a clean, controlled slant. Strokes are consistently fine with minimal modulation, giving the letters an airy, hairline presence. Capitals feel narrow and tall with open counters (notably in C, G, O, Q), while the lowercase maintains a smooth cursive rhythm with long, gently curving entries and exits. The numerals are similarly light and elongated, matching the text’s delicate color and even spacing.
This font is well suited to editorial headlines, pull quotes, book-jacket typography, and refined branding where a light, elegant italic voice is desired. It also fits formal printed pieces such as invitations and announcements, particularly at medium-to-large sizes where the fine strokes and open counters can breathe.
The overall tone is sophisticated and understated, leaning toward a literary, editorial feel rather than loud display impact. Its lightness and italic movement read as polished and expressive, suggesting formality without heaviness.
The type appears designed to blend the poise of a classic italic with the steadiness of slab serifs, producing a distinctive, refined texture for sophisticated display typography. The aim seems to be an elegant reading rhythm with a modern crispness from the square serifs and clean, light construction.
The design relies on generous internal space and crisp terminals to maintain clarity at larger sizes, with a graceful italic flow across words. The slab serifs add a subtle structural backbone, keeping the style from feeling purely script-like despite the pronounced slant.
