A very thin, italic slab serif with unbracketed, square-ended terminals and a delicate, consistent stroke weight. The letterforms lean with a smooth, continuous rhythm, mixing restrained curves with crisp, straight joins and flat serifs that read as small, rectangular accents. Proportions feel balanced and open, with compact, controlled counters and a clean baseline presence that stays legible despite the hairline build. Numerals follow the same light, poised construction, keeping a refined, understated texture in running text.
Best suited to display and short-to-medium text where its fine strokes can be preserved—magazine headlines, pull quotes, cultural branding, event materials, and invitations. It can add a premium, curated feel in posters and packaging, especially when printed or rendered at sizes that keep the hairline details from breaking up.
The overall tone is sophisticated and calm, with an airy, editorial elegance. Its combination of hairline strokes and crisp slab details suggests a cultured, literary voice—polished, slightly formal, and quietly modern in its precision.
The design appears intended to deliver an elegant italic voice with a crisp slab-serif backbone—combining graceful movement with squared-off detail for a distinctive, high-end typographic color.
The italic angle is steady across caps, lowercase, and figures, creating a cohesive forward motion. Flat, squared terminals and small slab cues add structure to what would otherwise feel purely calligraphic, giving the face a distinctive mix of delicacy and firmness.
