A very slender italic with crisp, square-ended slab serifs and a noticeably airy texture. Strokes are predominantly low-contrast, with smooth, rounded curves in bowls and counters and sharply cut terminals that keep edges clean. The letterforms are relatively wide for the weight, with open apertures and generous internal space that prevents the light strokes from collapsing in text. Serifs read as flat, unbracketed attachments, and the italics show gentle, consistent forward motion rather than exaggerated swash behavior.
Best suited to display and short-to-medium text where a refined italic voice is needed—editorial decks, pull quotes, book and magazine typography, and premium branding. It can also work for packaging and invitations where an airy, elegant tone is desired, especially at larger sizes where the crisp slab serifs can be appreciated.
The overall tone is poised and literary, combining the polish of an editorial italic with a cool, contemporary sharpness from the slabbed finishing. Its lightness and openness make it feel delicate and high-end, while the squared serifs add a subtle architectural firmness.
The design appears intended to deliver an italic with strong typographic personality—combining a light, spacious skeleton with crisp slab serifs for structure and distinction. It aims to stay readable and composed in text while offering a polished, fashion-forward flavor for headlines and branding.
Capitals maintain a calm, classic rhythm with understated italic stress, and round letters (C, O, Q) stay smooth and spacious. The lowercase shows a clean, modern cursive logic with restrained entry/exit strokes, and the numerals follow the same slim, open construction for a consistent color across mixed text.
