A hairline italic slab serif with unbracketed, square-cut serifs and a consistently delicate stroke. The letterforms are wide and open, with generous sidebearings and smooth, sweeping curves that keep counters spacious. Terminals and serifs read crisp and planar, while the italic construction introduces a gentle, calligraphic flow without becoming cursive. Round characters stay clean and near-monoline, and the overall rhythm is even and measured, favoring clarity over ornament.
Best suited to editorial settings, book or magazine typography, and other contexts where an elegant italic voice is needed. It can work well for pull quotes, headlines, and refined branding where a light, sophisticated texture is desired, and it can also serve as a display italic in longer passages when set with comfortable size and leading.
The tone is refined and literary, evoking editorial sophistication and quiet elegance. Its light touch and slanted posture feel poised and cultured rather than loud, giving text a graceful, airy presence.
The design appears intended to blend the structural authority of slab serifs with an unusually light, spacious italic voice. It aims for a crisp, modern finish while retaining classic proportions and a smooth reading rhythm.
The font’s thin strokes and sharp slab endings create a distinctive contrast of fragility and structure. In the sample paragraph, spacing and open shapes help maintain readability, while the hairline weight makes the texture feel bright and delicate.
