A delicate italic serif with an airy, hairline texture and crisp, unbracketed slab-like serifs that read as small rectangular terminals. Strokes maintain a consistent, very thin baseline weight while tapering subtly through curves, creating a clean, controlled rhythm rather than dramatic flare. The design shows generous sidebearings, open counters, and a slightly high-waisted feel in the capitals; italic construction is evident throughout, with flowing entry/exit strokes and a steady rightward lean. Numerals and lowercase share the same light, precise drawing, giving the face a calm, even color at text sizes despite its fine strokes.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazine features, pull quotes, and refined book typography where a light italic can add emphasis without heaviness. It can also work effectively for luxury-leaning branding, invitations, and packaging where delicacy and crispness are desired, especially at moderate-to-large sizes.
The overall tone is poised and cultivated, with a quiet luxury that feels at home in editorial settings. Its italic voice adds a graceful, literary character—more refined than casual—suggesting tradition and taste without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended as a sophisticated italic with a modern, sharpened serif treatment—prioritizing elegance, clarity, and a consistent, airy texture for premium typography contexts.
Capitals are tall and clean with restrained details, while the lowercase leans into classic italic forms with smooth joins and minimal ornamentation. The fine serifs and narrow terminals stay sharp and geometric, reinforcing a polished, contemporary finish within a traditional italic framework.
