A very slender italic slab serif with hairline strokes and crisp, flat-ended serifs that read as small tabs rather than flared terminals. The design leans on clean, gently modulated curves and a consistent rightward slant, producing a smooth, continuous rhythm in text. Counters are open and round, spacing is generous, and capitals are tall and poised, while the lowercase maintains a calm, readable proportion and a light, precise baseline presence.
Best suited to editorial applications such as magazine features, book or journal covers, refined headlines, and pull quotes where its airy texture can breathe. It can also work for short paragraphs in high-quality print or large on-screen sizes, especially in layouts that allow comfortable line spacing and avoid overly small settings.
The overall tone is refined and literary, suggesting classic editorial typography with a modern, minimalist lightness. Its thin strokes and measured slant feel graceful and formal, lending a cultured, high-end impression without overt ornament.
The design appears intended to combine the discipline of slab serifs with an elegant italic voice, delivering a crisp, contemporary take on a classic reading style. Its focus on lightness, clarity, and consistent rhythm suggests use in sophisticated editorial and branding contexts where a subtle, cultured tone is desired.
The numerals follow the same delicate construction and italic angle, with simple, legible forms and understated slab terminals. In the sample text, the light color and ample sidebearings create an airy texture that favors spacious layouts and careful typesetting.
