A very slender italic serif with crisp, mostly unbracketed slab-like terminals and a gently calligraphic stroke flow. The letterforms are open and wide-set, with generous sidebearings and a calm, even rhythm across lines of text. Serifs read as small, flat wedges and squares that stay sharp at joins, while curves remain smooth and lightly tensioned. The italic construction is consistent, with angled stress, long extenders, and clear entry/exit strokes that keep the texture light and spacious.
This font is well suited to editorial typography—magazines, book interiors, essays, and pull quotes—where an elegant italic voice is needed. It also fits refined stationery and invitation work, especially at moderate to larger sizes where its thin strokes and sharp terminals can remain crisp.
The overall tone is elegant and literary, with a quiet sophistication that feels suited to cultured, editorial settings. Its airy color and poised italic give it a formal, slightly old-world demeanor without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended to provide a graceful, space-efficient italic with slab-like firmness at the terminals, balancing classic serif tradition with a cleaner, more architectural edge. The emphasis is on a light, polished texture for sophisticated reading and display settings rather than heavy emphasis or loud personality.
Capitals show a restrained, classical silhouette with clean diagonals and controlled curves, while the lowercase maintains clarity through open counters and distinct forms (notably the simple, readable a, e, and g). Numerals are similarly slanted and lightly built, matching the text’s delicacy and maintaining consistent spacing and alignment in running copy.
