A very slender italic with a gently calligraphic construction and crisp, slab-like terminals. Strokes are predominantly monolinear, with subtle modulation and a consistent rightward slant that gives the forms a smooth, continuous rhythm. Serifs read as small, flat feet and caps at stroke ends, contributing a lightly architectural, unbracketed feel without adding much weight. Proportions are tall and narrow with long ascenders/descenders and a relatively small x-height, producing generous white space inside and around letters.
Works well where an understated, refined italic voice is needed—editorial pull quotes, book interiors, poetry or short literary passages, and elegant stationery. It can also serve as a distinctive brand type for boutique or cultural applications, especially at display sizes where the hairline details remain clear.
The overall tone is poised and bookish, leaning toward formal elegance rather than casual handwriting. Its lightness and steady italic angle suggest sophistication and a quiet, classic sensibility suited to polished, editorial contexts.
Likely intended to provide a graceful, modernized italic with slab-like finishing—combining calligraphic movement with crisp terminals for a refined, contemporary-classic texture in text and display.
Round letters stay open and clean, while joins and curves remain delicate, keeping texture even in longer lines. Numerals and capitals share the same thin, upright-leaning elegance, helping headings and initials feel cohesive with text settings.
