A very slender italic serif with crisp, unbracketed slab terminals that read as small, squared caps on otherwise calligraphic strokes. Curves are smooth and open, with modest modulation and a consistent diagonal slant that creates an even rightward flow. Proportions feel classical and slightly narrow, with generous counters and long, tapering joins; capitals are restrained and elegant rather than monumental. Numerals and punctuation follow the same light touch, keeping the overall texture bright and finely spaced.
Well suited to editorial headlines, pull quotes, and short-to-medium passages where an italic voice is desired without heavy contrast. It also fits book covers, fashion or lifestyle branding, and invitations that benefit from a refined, airy texture. For best results, it favors sizes where the hairline details and slab terminals remain clearly resolved.
The font conveys a quiet, literary elegance—more notebook-poetry and editorial refinement than display bravura. Its delicate strokes and italic rhythm suggest intimacy, sophistication, and a slightly vintage sensibility without feeling ornate.
Likely intended as a contemporary italic serif that blends classic bookish forms with squared, slab-like finishing to create a distinctive, delicate voice. The goal appears to be an elegant, flowing reading rhythm with crisp terminals for clarity and character.
The design’s identity comes from the tension between hairline construction and squared slab finishing, which gives edges a precise, modern snap while maintaining a handwritten, flowing cadence. In paragraphs it produces a light color and noticeable motion, so it reads as expressive even at moderate sizes.
