A very light italic slab-serif with slender, softly modulated strokes and small, squared slab serifs that read as subtly bracketed rather than blunt. The letterforms lean consistently with a smooth, pen-like rhythm, and spacing feels open, giving the set an airy color on the page. Uppercase shapes are narrow and crisp with restrained terminals, while the lowercase shows a more cursive influence (notably in single-storey forms and long ascenders/descenders) that keeps texture lively without becoming fully script. Numerals match the same light touch and italic angle, with graceful curves and minimal visual weight.
Well-suited to editorial settings such as pull quotes, intros, and refined headings where an italic voice is desired. It also fits invitation suites, boutique branding, and fashion or lifestyle packaging that benefits from a light, elegant slab-serif character. For extended reading, it will perform best at moderate-to-large sizes due to its delicate strokes.
The overall tone is refined and literary, with a quiet elegance that suggests editorial polish rather than display bravado. Its lightness and italic motion add a gentle, expressive quality, suited to sophisticated, understated typography.
The design appears intended to merge the stability of slab serifs with an italic, calligraphic sensibility, offering a graceful voice for sophisticated typography. It prioritizes elegance and rhythm over heaviness, aiming for a distinctive, polished texture in headlines and expressive text.
The family of forms balances slab-serif structure with calligraphic movement: serifs provide a clear baseline and terminals, while the italic construction and soft curves create a flowing reading rhythm. In longer text the thin strokes and open counters produce a bright, delicate texture, favoring generous sizes and comfortable line spacing.
