A slender, italic text face with crisp, square-ended slab serifs and a compact overall fit. Strokes stay relatively even, with only modest thick–thin modulation, and the italic angle is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures. The serifs read as flat and cleanly joined, giving terminals a clipped, decisive finish, while curves remain smooth and slightly tapered. Proportions are restrained and vertically oriented, producing a tidy rhythm in both the alphabet grid and paragraph setting.
Well-suited to editorial typography where an italic voice is needed—book interiors, magazines, essays, and pull quotes. It can also work for refined titling and short passages where a classic, slightly formal texture is desirable.
The font conveys a literary, composed tone—traditional without feeling heavy. Its italic posture and sharp slab details suggest cultured editorial use, with a slightly antiquarian flavor suited to refined, text-forward design.
The design appears intended to deliver an italic text face that balances readability with a distinctive slab-serif finish, combining an old-style, literary rhythm with crisp, squared terminals for definition in print-like settings.
In running text the letterforms maintain a steady cadence and clear word shapes, with noticeable slant and compact spacing that can create a lively, flowing line. Numerals match the italic character and keep the same crisp terminal behavior, helping them blend naturally into text.
