A very slender italic serif with crisp, unbracketed slab terminals and a clean, even stroke rhythm. The letterforms show generous curves and open counters, with a calm baseline flow and a consistent rightward slant across capitals and lowercase. Serifs read as small rectangular finishes rather than tapered flicks, giving the delicate strokes a structured, architectural feel. Proportions are moderately tall and lightly spaced, and the numerals mirror the same fine, poised construction.
Works well for editorial typography, book interiors, and magazine features where a delicate italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotes, or subheads. It can also support high-end invitations and refined branding when set with ample size and breathing room to preserve its fine detailing.
The overall tone is quiet, polished, and bookish, combining a genteel italic gesture with a lightly engineered, slab‑finished precision. It feels suitable for sophisticated, traditional contexts rather than loud display, with an airy refinement that reads as editorial and cultured.
The design appears intended to deliver an elegant italic with a restrained, modernized slab finishing—pairing classical proportions and calligraphic movement with crisp, square serif structure for a distinctive but controlled texture on the page.
Capitals lean toward a Roman-inscription elegance while maintaining the same narrow, hairline presence as the lowercase. The italic construction is smooth rather than overly cursive, keeping shapes legible and consistent in longer strings of text, as shown in the pangram sample.
