A very light italic slab serif with crisp, unbracketed rectangular serifs and gently modulated curves. The design shows a steady rightward slant and a clean, open rhythm, with slender stems, small terminals, and a controlled, slightly calligraphic flow. Uppercase forms feel formal and measured, while the lowercase brings more movement through single-storey shapes and softly tapered joins; numerals follow the same delicate, high-clarity construction.
Best suited to editorial contexts such as magazines, book typography, and refined branding where a light, elegant italic can carry personality. It performs especially well in headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and short passages where its crisp slabs and delicate strokes can be appreciated.
The overall tone is poised and cultured, with an understated sophistication that reads as bookish and editorial. Its lightness and italic momentum add a graceful, expressive quality without becoming overly decorative.
Likely designed to blend the clarity and structure of a slab serif with the finesse of a light, calligraphic italic, offering a distinctive voice for sophisticated reading environments. The emphasis appears to be on elegance and cadence rather than ruggedness or heavy impact.
The thin hairlines and sharp slab endings create a high-definition, engraved-like presence at larger sizes, while the italic angle and generous spacing keep text from feeling cramped. The italic is assertive enough to function as a primary voice for headlines or pull quotes, not only for emphasis.
