A delicate italic slab serif with hairline strokes and crisp, square-ended serifs that read as small horizontal caps on stems. The design shows a consistent rightward slant, smooth oval curves, and restrained terminals with occasional gentle hooks in the lowercase. Proportions are fairly classical: capitals are narrow-to-moderate with generous inner space, and lowercase forms keep open counters and a tidy rhythm. Numerals echo the same light, linear construction with rounded bowls and minimal flourish.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, titling, and other larger-size settings where its fine strokes and crisp serifs can stay clear. It can add a polished, boutique character to branding and packaging, and works well for elegant invitations or short-form editorial typography.
The overall tone is refined and understated, with an editorial, literary feel. Its light touch and measured italic motion suggest sophistication and quiet confidence rather than loud display.
The design appears intended to blend italic grace with slab-serif clarity, producing a light, stylish voice for premium typography. It prioritizes an even, refined texture and a distinctive serif signature over robustness at very small sizes.
The square serif treatment stays clean and unbracketed, giving the face a slightly structured, modern edge despite the calligraphic slant. Spacing in the samples feels roomy, reinforcing an airy texture on the page.
