A very slender, italic serif with crisp, square-ended slab terminals and a consistent, low-contrast stroke model. The letters lean with a smooth, drawn rhythm, combining long, sweeping curves (notably in bowls and rounds) with sharply cut serifs and short horizontal caps. Proportions are generously wide with open counters, while joins and terminals stay clean and unbracketed, giving the design a precise, engraved feel despite the light weight. Numerals and lowercase show the same thin, poised construction, with single-storey forms where visible and understated punctuation-like details (dots and terminals) kept small and neat.
Well suited to editorial typography, magazine features, book jackets, and cultured branding where a light, elegant italic presence is desired. It can also work for invitations, headings, pull quotes, and short to medium passages at comfortable sizes where its fine strokes and wide proportions have room to breathe.
The overall tone is quiet and elegant—more literary than loud—suggesting a formal, cultivated voice with a hint of vintage editorial charm. Its combination of delicate strokes and squared slab endings reads as both graceful and slightly idiosyncratic, lending a distinctive personality without feeling ornamental.
The design appears intended to merge the clarity and structure of a slab-serif skeleton with the fluidity of an italic, aiming for a refined, text-capable voice with distinctive squared terminals. It prioritizes lightness and elegance while maintaining crisp letter separation and a measured, literary rhythm.
The font’s width and light color create a spacious texture in paragraphs, and the italic slant contributes to forward motion and a handwritten cadence. Sharp slab terminals add definition at word edges, helping letterforms stay articulated even with minimal contrast.
