A very light, italicized serif with square-ended slab terminals and crisp, unbracketed joins. Strokes are thin and even, with restrained modulation and an overall open, airy color on the page. Proportions are elegant and slightly tall, with long ascenders/descenders and generous interior counters that keep the texture readable despite the hairline weight. The serif treatment stays consistently flat and geometric, giving the italics a controlled, engineered feel rather than calligraphic sweep.
Well suited to editorial typography, magazine features, and book interiors where a light, elegant italic can add contrast and hierarchy. It also fits premium branding, packaging, and cultural or gallery applications that benefit from a crisp, minimal serif presence, especially at display sizes where the thin strokes can breathe.
The tone is refined and editorial—quietly sophisticated, bookish, and contemporary. Its hairline build and measured slant suggest elegance and restraint, with a hint of modern fashion and gallery signage rather than rustic or overly traditional warmth.
The design appears intended to merge slab-serif structure with a refined, hairline italic palette—prioritizing clarity, spaciousness, and a modern-classic tone. Its consistent square terminals and restrained rhythm suggest a focus on controlled elegance for high-end editorial and display typography.
Round forms (like O/C/G and 0/8/9) appear clean and spacious, while diagonals (A/V/W/X/Y) remain sharp without becoming brittle. The figures are slender and poised, pairing well with the letterforms for continuous text settings where a delicate voice is desired.
