A delicate italic serif with very thin, even strokes and crisp, squared slab serifs that meet the stems cleanly. The letterforms are narrow-to-moderate in proportion with generous sidebearings, creating an airy rhythm in text. Curves are smooth and open, while terminals and serifs stay sharp and planar, giving the design a precise, drawn quality. Numerals and capitals follow the same light, disciplined construction, with consistent slant and careful spacing.
Works well for editorial typography, book and magazine settings, and other contexts where a refined italic voice is needed. It also suits pull quotes, titling, and elegant printed pieces such as programs or invitations, especially at sizes where the thin strokes and sharp serifs can remain clear.
The overall tone is poised and literary, combining a quiet elegance with a slightly editorial, bookish feel. Its light color and controlled italic movement read as sophisticated and understated rather than expressive or loud.
The design appears intended to deliver a graceful, readable italic with slab-like precision—pairing a light, airy text color with crisp serif geometry for a cultivated editorial presence.
In continuous text the fine strokes and sharp slab details produce a crisp texture, with clear differentiation between forms and a steady baseline. The italic angle is noticeable but measured, supporting emphasis without becoming overly calligraphic.
