A very slender, italic serif with crisp, squared slab-like terminals and minimal stroke modulation. Proportions are noticeably broad, with generous internal space in rounds and a smooth, even rhythm across words. Serifs read as clean, unbracketed blocks that stay understated at this weight, while the curves and joins remain controlled and graceful; overall spacing appears open and calm, supporting a light, elegant texture on the page.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, essays, and book components where a refined italic is needed for emphasis, pull quotes, or introductions. It also works for upscale branding, invitations, and packaging that benefits from a delicate, cultured tone; best in display to text sizes where its thin strokes can remain crisp.
This typeface feels airy, refined, and quietly expressive. Its gentle forward motion and delicate structure give it a cultured, editorial mood—more sophisticated than neutral, with a hint of vintage bookishness.
The design appears intended to provide a sophisticated italic voice that remains readable while staying visually light and spacious. The squared slab terminals add structure and clarity, balancing the softness of the italic flow and wide proportions to create an elegant, composed text color.
The lowercase shows a gentle calligraphic sensibility with rounded bowls and tidy entry/exit strokes, while the capitals maintain a restrained, formal presence. Numerals follow the same light, wide construction, staying consistent with the overall airy texture.
