A very light, obliqued slab-serif with square, unbracketed terminals and a largely monolinear stroke feel. The letters show crisp, angular construction—especially in the capitals—where curves are often faceted into gently polygonal forms rather than fully round bowls. Serifs read as small but firm slabs that sit cleanly on stems, giving the design a structured baseline rhythm despite the delicate weight. Lowercase forms are narrow and flowing with modest joins and occasional entry/exit flicks, creating a handwritten-leaning texture while remaining clearly typographic. Figures follow the same light, angular logic with simple, open counters and consistent slant.
This font suits editorial display needs such as book titles, pull quotes, and magazine headings where a refined italic voice is desirable. It can also work well for formal stationery and invitations, or boutique branding seeking a vintage-leaning, crafted tone. For longer passages, it’s likely best at comfortable sizes with generous leading to preserve the delicate strokes and angular details.
The overall tone is elegant and bookish, combining the authority of slab serifs with a lightly calligraphic, old-style italic flavor. It feels poised and slightly antique—more “engraved” and editorial than modernist—projecting restraint, civility, and a quiet sense of craft.
The design appears intended to blend slab-serif structure with an italic, handwritten cadence—delivering a distinctive, lightly engraved look that feels traditional yet idiosyncratic. Its thin weight and crisp, unbracketed serifs suggest an emphasis on elegance and typographic character over robustness.
The italic angle is pronounced enough to create forward motion, and the faceted curves give the face a distinctive, slightly mechanical edge compared with more rounded italics. Spacing in the sample text appears airy, helping the thin strokes stay legible while emphasizing the font’s refined, high-line feel.
