A very delicate italic serif with hairline strokes and small, square-ended slab serifs that join the stems cleanly. The letterforms are tall and slightly condensed in feel, with a consistent forward slant and smooth, continuous curves. Terminals and serifs are crisp and minimal, giving the outlines a precise, engraved look while keeping the overall texture light and open. Uppercase proportions are narrow and poised, and the lowercase shows a relatively tall x-height with slender ascenders and descenders that add vertical grace.
This font is well suited to editorial headlines, book and magazine display typography, pull quotes, and refined branding where a light, graceful italic is desired. It can also work for invitations, packaging accents, and short passages of text when set with comfortable size and spacing to preserve its hairline clarity.
The tone is cultured and understated—more editorial and literary than attention-seeking. Its thin, italic cadence reads as sophisticated and genteel, evoking classic book typography and refined fashion or arts contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver a crisp, modernized take on italic slab-serif writing—combining square, unbracketed serifs with a restrained, high-elegance silhouette for polished display and editorial use.
The rhythm is driven by vertical stems and clean slab endpoints, producing a neat, slightly formal color in text. Numerals and capitals maintain the same hairline discipline, with elegant curves and restrained detailing that suits larger sizes best where the fine strokes can be appreciated.
