A very slender, strongly slanted serif with crisp, square-ended slab serifs and clean, unbracketed joins. Strokes remain mostly even in thickness, giving a light, linear color with minimal modulation, while terminals stay sharp and neatly finished. The letterforms feel narrow and tall with generous interior space; curves are smooth and open, and diagonals are taut, producing a consistent, slightly formal rhythm. In text, the italic angle creates a continuous forward flow, and the thin slabs add a subtle baseline and cap-line structure without weighing the page down.
Best suited to display and larger text sizes where its fine strokes and slab details can remain clear. It works well for editorial headlines, book and magazine titling, fashion and lifestyle branding, and elegant print pieces such as invitations or packaging where a refined italic voice is desired.
The overall tone is poised and literary—more understated elegance than showy display. Its lightness and pronounced slant suggest sophistication and a gentle, cultivated voice, suitable for thoughtful, editorial settings rather than loud branding.
The design appears intended to blend an italic, calligraphic flow with the steadiness of slab serifs, creating a light, elegant serif that still feels structured. It emphasizes forward motion and spaciousness while maintaining crisp, architectural endpoints for a polished finish.
Counters and apertures read cleanly at display sizes, and the numerals share the same light, crisp construction, contributing to a cohesive, airy texture. The combination of thin stems and square slab details yields a distinctive mix of delicacy and structural clarity.
