A very fine, hairline italic slab serif with square, unbracketed terminals and a crisp, linear construction. The design relies on slender strokes with subtle modulation and sharply defined slab-like serifs that read as small horizontal and vertical cutoffs rather than flared endings. Curves are open and smooth, counters are generous, and the overall rhythm is measured and formal, with italic structure giving a forward, continuous flow.
Best suited to editorial settings such as magazines, book titles, pull quotes, and refined branding where a delicate italic voice is desired. It can also work well for luxury packaging and identity systems that benefit from crisp, squared serif detail and a light typographic color.
The tone is poised and upscale, combining a quiet, literary italic with the precision of squared slab terminals. It feels cultured and editorial, with a delicate, high-end presence suited to sophisticated typography rather than loud display.
The design appears intended to deliver an understated, premium italic with slab-serif punctuation—merging classic editorial elegance with crisp, squared finishing. It prioritizes grace and clarity in larger sizes, emphasizing smooth curves, generous counters, and a controlled, formal rhythm.
Uppercase forms are particularly clean and architectural, while the lowercase introduces a more handwritten italic cadence (notably in letters like a, f, g, and y), creating a refined contrast between structure and movement. Numerals are similarly light and elegant, matching the overall thin, crisp texture.
