A very thin, right-leaning italic with crisp, square-ended slab serifs and clean, unbracketed joins. Strokes are consistently light with only subtle modulation, producing an even, airy color and generous internal whitespace. Capitals feel tall and open, with sharp terminals and a measured, formal rhythm, while the lowercase introduces more cursive movement through looped forms and tapered entries. Numerals are similarly slender and slightly stylized, with smooth curves and compact joins that keep the texture light and continuous in text.
Well-suited to editorial typography where a light, elegant italic voice is desired—such as magazine features, book typography, pull quotes, and refined headings. It can also support formal stationery and invitation-style applications where a crisp, structured italic is preferred over a connected script.
The overall tone is refined and literary, balancing formal editorial polish with a gentle calligraphic liveliness. Its thin hairlines and italic flow read as elegant and composed rather than loud or decorative.
The design appears intended to blend a disciplined slab-serif structure with an italic, calligraphic cadence, offering a graceful emphasis style that stays clean and legible while projecting sophistication.
In continuous text the slanted rhythm is steady and coherent, with a notably open, spacious feel driven by light strokes and clear counters. The slab serifs add a crisp, structured edge that keeps the italic from feeling overly soft or script-like.
