A very delicate italic slab serif with hairline strokes and crisp, unbracketed rectangular serifs that meet the stems squarely. The slant is consistent and smooth, with open counters and clean, lightly calligraphic curves that keep the rhythm airy. Uppercase forms feel restrained and classical in proportion, while the lowercase shows a modest x-height with long, graceful ascenders and descenders. Numerals are slender and stylized, with an oldstyle flavor in their varied heights and flowing terminals.
Best suited for display and short-to-medium passages where its fine strokes can be appreciated—magazine features, pull quotes, book titling, and refined brand materials. It can also work for elegant invitations or packaging when printed well and set at comfortable sizes.
The overall tone is poised and understated—more fashion-editorial than mechanical—balancing a sharp, structured serif treatment with a soft italic flow. Its lightness and spacing give it a cultured, literary feel that suggests sophistication without heaviness.
Likely designed to offer an ultra-light italic voice with recognizable slab-serif cues—combining a graceful, editorial italic texture with crisp, square serif endings for a distinctive, contemporary-classic signature.
The design’s identity comes from the tension between razor-thin strokes and the squared slab serifs, which read as precise accents rather than weighty blocks. In text, the italics create a continuous, gently cursive line, while the slab ends add a distinctive, slightly modern edge.
