A very slender italic serif with crisp, slab-like terminals and an overall calligraphic rhythm. Strokes are consistently fine with minimal modulation, giving the letterforms a clean, airy texture. Proportions are generously spaced and fairly wide, with open counters and long, gently tapered entry/exit strokes. Serifs read as squared and direct rather than softly bracketed, and the italic construction is evident across capitals, lowercase, and numerals.
Works best in short to medium text settings where elegance and whitespace are assets—magazine features, book titling, pull quotes, and refined branding lines. It also suits formal stationery and invitations, especially where an italic voice is desired for emphasis or a more expressive editorial tone.
The tone is poised and cultivated, leaning toward literary and editorial sophistication rather than loud display. Its light footprint and flowing italic movement feel formal and graceful, suitable for content that aims to appear polished and considered.
The design appears intended to blend slab-serif crispness with an italic, calligraphic flow, producing a refined serif that feels contemporary in restraint while still referencing classical editorial typography.
Capitals present a restrained, classical structure with clear horizontal serifs, while the lowercase shows more cursive influence in letters like a, f, g, and y. Numerals maintain the same fine, italicized cadence, keeping a cohesive color in running text while remaining visually delicate at small sizes.
