A slender italic slab-serif with crisp, unbracketed rectangular serifs and a light, even color on the page. The forms show a calligraphic slant with moderate stroke modulation, producing sharp entry/exit terminals and clean joins. Counters are open and rounded, while verticals and diagonals stay taut and narrow, giving the design a tall, streamlined rhythm. Numerals follow the same italic energy, with smooth curves and fine terminals that keep the texture consistent in text.
Well-suited to editorial typography where an elegant italic voice is needed—pull quotes, intros, magazine features, and book-jacket titling. It can also serve refined branding, packaging, or invitation-style settings where a crisp, upscale slab-serif character is desirable.
The overall tone feels refined and literary, combining classical bookish manners with an airy, contemporary lightness. Its italic posture and crisp slabs add a sense of formality and motion, suggesting sophistication rather than loud display.
The design appears intended to merge the authority and structure of a slab-serif with the grace and momentum of an italic, yielding a polished face that stays crisp and composed in running text and headings.
In the sample text, the spacing and italics create a gently flowing line, while the square serifs provide a steady baseline and clear word shapes. The design reads cleanly at larger text sizes, where the sharp serifs and delicate stroke endings remain distinct.
