A very slender italic serif with crisp, unbracketed slab-like terminals that read as small, square finishing strokes. The design maintains a consistent, delicate stroke weight with smooth curves and restrained modulation, producing a clean, airy texture on the page. Proportions feel open and slightly condensed in the rounds, with generous counters and clear, disciplined spacing. The italic angle is steady and controlled, lending continuous forward rhythm without becoming cursive.
Best suited to display and large text settings where its fine strokes and crisp terminals can remain distinct—such as magazine headlines, book covers, pull quotes, and refined brand wordmarks. It can also work for elegant invitations or short, airy typographic compositions where a light, sophisticated voice is desired.
The overall tone is poised and cultured, combining a contemporary lightness with a bookish, editorial sensibility. Its sharp, square-ended details add a subtle seriousness, while the hairline build keeps the impression gentle and sophisticated.
The design appears intended to blend modern minimalism with a classic italic serif tradition, using square-ended finishing strokes to keep the silhouette crisp and contemporary. It prioritizes elegance, continuity, and a polished page rhythm over heaviness or rugged texture.
The numerals and caps echo the same thin, precise construction, and the small square terminals help maintain definition at display sizes. Curves stay smooth and near-geometric, and the italic slant provides motion while preserving formality.
