A very light italic serif with crisp, unbracketed slab-like terminals that meet strokes squarely, creating a clean, chiseled finish. The design shows noticeable stroke modulation and a consistent rightward slant, with narrow, tapered joins and pointed vertexes in letters like V, W, and Y. Proportions are relatively compact with a moderate x-height, long ascenders/descenders, and an airy texture that stays even across upper- and lowercase. Numerals echo the same light, slanted construction, with open bowls and fine horizontals that keep the rhythm delicate.
Best suited to editorial typography where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, pull quotes, or refined display lines. The light color and crisp terminals also make it a strong choice for invitations, literary branding, and packaging or labels that benefit from a restrained, high-end tone.
The overall tone is cultured and polished, combining classical italic movement with a crisp, slightly technical sharpness at the ends. It reads as elegant and bookish rather than ornate, suggesting restraint and editorial confidence.
Likely designed to deliver a classic italic reading experience with a cleaner, more squared-off serif treatment, balancing traditional calligraphic motion with a contemporary, precise finish. The intent appears to be an elegant, unobtrusive texture that can carry extended text while still feeling distinctive.
Uppercase forms feel stately and slightly wide in their curves (notably C, G, O, Q), while the lowercase carries more calligraphic momentum through single-storey a and g and a gently flowing f. The ampersand and punctuation in the sample show the same thin, angled stroke logic, supporting continuous text with a consistent cadence.
