A very light italic slab serif with crisp, square-ended serifs and slender strokes throughout. The letterforms are lightly slanted with a fluid, handwritten rhythm, combining sharp terminals with occasional soft curves and looped shapes in the lowercase. Proportions feel moderately narrow and upright in structure despite the italic angle, with open counters and a delicate overall color. Numerals and capitals maintain the same thin, clean stroke logic, giving the set a consistent, airy texture in text.
It suits editorial applications where a refined italic voice is needed—pull quotes, intros, and display lines in magazines or books. The delicate weight also works well for invitations, packaging, and branding that benefit from a cultured, understated personality, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the thin strokes can breathe.
The font conveys a quiet, cultured tone—elegant without being formal, and distinctly literary in flavor. Its thin strokes and italic motion add a sense of intimacy and sophistication, suggesting classic print traditions with a lightly personal, penned feel.
The design appears intended to merge the firmness of slab serif construction with an elegant italic gesture, creating a distinctive, lightweight display text face. It prioritizes grace and rhythm over heaviness, aiming for a classic, expressive voice that remains crisp and structured.
The italic construction is prominent in both uppercase and lowercase, producing a forward-leaning cadence and generous whitespace between strokes. Square, unbracketed slab serifs add a subtle structural “snap” at ends and joins, helping maintain clarity despite the delicate weight.
