A delicate, italicized slab serif with hairline strokes and crisp, unbracketed serifs that read as small, squared terminals. The forms are narrow and lightly built, with smooth, continuous curves and a consistent rightward slant that gives the design forward motion. Counters are open and rounded, ascenders are notably tall, and the overall rhythm feels lightly calligraphic despite the disciplined serif structure. Numerals follow the same thin, gently stylized construction, with subtle hooks and tapering ends that keep the color light on the page.
It performs best in display and short-to-medium text where its airy texture and italic rhythm can be appreciated—such as editorial pull quotes, book and magazine titling, packaging or boutique branding, and formal stationery. The delicate stroke weight makes it especially effective at larger sizes and in high-contrast reproduction.
The font conveys a cultured, handwritten elegance—poised and quiet rather than assertive. Its thin strokes and italic energy lend a lyrical, slightly whimsical tone that feels suited to refined editorial or boutique contexts.
The design appears intended to merge the sophistication of a classic italic with the clarity and punctuation of slab serifs, producing an elegant, lightly mannered voice. It aims for a refined, literary feel that remains structured and typographic rather than fully handwritten.
In text, the thin joins and long extenders create a sparkling texture with generous white space. The slab-like terminals add a crisp, print-oriented finish that keeps the italic from feeling purely script-like, while the overall narrowness emphasizes verticality and grace.
