A very light, italicized slab-serif with unbracketed, square-ended serifs and a notably open, airy texture. Strokes are thin and largely monoline, with gentle swelling kept to a minimum, and the forms are drawn wide with generous counters. The slanted rhythm is consistent across capitals and lowercase, with smooth, rounded curves in bowls and a crisp, controlled finish on terminals. Lowercase proportions emphasize a tall x-height, while ascenders and descenders remain relatively long and elegant, helping the design read as both delicate and structured.
Best suited to editorial settings where an italic, airy slab-serif can add character without heavy emphasis—such as book and magazine titling, pull quotes, and refined branding lines. It can also work for short text passages at comfortable sizes where its light strokes and open shapes have room to breathe.
The overall tone feels refined and literary, combining a cultured italic voice with a slightly vintage, editorial sensibility. Its lightness and spaciousness convey calm sophistication rather than loud display energy, suggesting careful, considered typography.
The design appears intended to merge a classic italic reading feel with the clarity and structure of unbracketed slabs, producing a distinctive voice for refined display and editorial typography. It prioritizes elegance, breadth, and consistent rhythm over heavy stroke contrast or dense text color.
The numerals and punctuation appear to follow the same hairline, slab-ended logic, keeping color consistent in mixed text. The italic angle and wide set contribute to a flowing line while the square serifs add a quiet, architectural steadiness.
