A very thin, italic slab-serif with crisp, unbracketed serifs and a clean, measured rhythm. Strokes are hairline-light with subtle modulation and long, gently tapered terminals, giving letters a sharp, drawn quality. The italic construction is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, with a graceful forward slant and open counters that keep the texture light. Serifs read as small, flat ledges that squarely meet the stems, lending a quiet sturdiness to an otherwise delicate skeleton.
Best suited to editorial settings where a light, refined italic is needed: book and magazine typography, cover titling, pull quotes, and tasteful brand applications. It will also work well for invitations or certificates where a formal tone is desired, particularly at moderate-to-large sizes where the hairline strokes can breathe.
The overall tone is poised and literary—more classical than trendy—balancing delicacy with a faintly formal, engraved feel. It suggests editorial sophistication and a cultivated voice, suitable for understated elegance rather than loud display.
The design appears intended to deliver a delicate, elegant italic voice with the anchoring clarity of square-ended slab serifs. It prioritizes sophistication and a light typographic color while maintaining a disciplined, serifed structure appropriate for refined text and display use.
Capitals have generous spacing and a restrained, high-end presence, while the lowercase keeps forms simple and readable with a slightly calligraphic flow. Numerals are similarly slender and italic, matching the text color without calling attention to themselves.
