A very thin, right-leaning slab serif with crisp, unbracketed terminals and a restrained, near-monoline stroke. The letterforms are lightly calligraphic in motion, with smooth curves and clean joins, while the square-ended serifs give the design a sharp, structured finish. Proportions feel moderately open with generous counters, and spacing reads even and calm, supporting a continuous, flowing rhythm in text.
Well-suited to editorial applications such as magazine features, pull quotes, and book or chapter titling where a light, elegant italic can carry tone. It can also work for upscale invitations and boutique branding, particularly when set at display sizes where the hairline detailing remains clear.
The overall tone is poised and literary, balancing delicate sophistication with a slightly formal, editorial voice. Its lightness and italic posture add a graceful, expressive feel without becoming ornate or playful.
The design appears intended to provide an elegant italic voice with the structural clarity of square-ended slabs, delivering a refined texture for display and high-quality typesetting. It aims for a contemporary crispness while retaining classical italic manners and a steady, readable rhythm.
The numerals and capitals maintain the same hairline delicacy and squared serif treatment, keeping the palette consistent across mixed settings. In the sample text, the slanted forms create a distinct forward movement and a refined texture, especially at larger sizes.
