A very slender italic with crisp, square-ended slab serifs and a smooth, calligraphic flow. Strokes are consistently thin, with clean terminals and a restrained, sharply drawn serif treatment that reads more architectural than soft. The italic slant is pronounced, giving the alphabet a forward rhythm; counters are open and rounded, and the overall proportions feel slightly tall with generous sidebearings that create a light, spacious texture in text. Numerals are equally thin and elegant, leaning and drawn with simple, open forms that match the letter rhythm.
Well-suited to magazine and book typography where a graceful italic voice is needed, especially for headlines, pull quotes, captions, and short passages. Its delicate construction also fits branding, packaging, and invitations where elegance and restraint are priorities.
The tone is poised and cultured, combining the formality of a serif with the lightness and motion of an italic. It feels sophisticated and editorial, with a quiet, modern refinement rather than overt nostalgia.
The design appears intended to deliver an ultra-refined italic serif with slab-like, unbracketed serifs—combining crisp structure with flowing movement. It aims for a distinctive, upscale texture that stands out in display while remaining coherent in carefully set text.
In paragraph settings the thin strokes and ample spacing produce a bright page color, with the slab serifs adding small, crisp accents at word edges. The design emphasizes smooth curves and controlled entry/exit strokes, maintaining an even cadence across mixed-case text.
