A very slender italic slab serif with crisp, unbracketed terminals and a measured, medium-contrast stroke. The letterforms are lightly built with tall proportions and generous sidebearings, creating an open, spacious rhythm in both caps and lowercase. Serifs read as small, squared slabs that end cleanly, while curves stay smooth and controlled; joins and terminals remain sharp rather than soft. Numerals and capitals maintain the same refined, lightly engineered texture, with an overall emphasis on precision and restraint.
Well suited to editorial headlines, magazine features, and book typography where a refined italic voice is needed for emphasis or atmosphere. It can also work for elegant invitations, branding wordmarks, and pull quotes, especially when set with comfortable leading to preserve its light, open texture.
The tone is poised and literary, evoking editorial sophistication and a quiet formality. Its airy color and crisp slab detailing feel contemporary-classic—more polished and thoughtful than rugged or industrial.
The design appears intended to blend classic italic movement with crisp slab-serif punctuation, offering a graceful display serif that stays structured and precise. It aims for sophistication and readability in expressive settings rather than dense, utilitarian text color.
The italic angle is consistent and the spacing keeps the text from clumping, producing a delicate, flowing line despite the slab-serif structure. The design favors clarity at display and short-text sizes, where the fine strokes and sharp terminals can read as intentional details rather than fragility.
