A delicate italic slab serif with crisp, square-ended serifs and a clean, disciplined construction. Strokes are consistently thin with minimal modulation, letting the italic slant and long, tapered entry/exit strokes carry most of the motion. Proportions feel classic and text-oriented: moderate x-height, open counters, and generous ascenders/descenders that give the lowercase an airy rhythm. Terminals and serifs read sharp and unbracketed, creating a precise, slightly architectural texture across both the uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited to editorial typography such as magazine features, book interiors, and refined pull quotes where an italic voice is needed with a crisp, contemporary edge. It can also work for upscale branding and packaging accents when used at comfortable sizes and with ample whitespace.
The overall tone is poised and literary, combining an old-style italic flow with a modern, cool restraint. Its fine hairline feel and crisp slab details suggest sophistication and care, leaning more cultured than casual. The italic angle adds a sense of forward motion and elegance without becoming decorative.
Likely designed to provide a sophisticated italic companion with a distinctive slab-serif signature—combining traditional italic rhythm with sharp, unbracketed serifs for a modern, curated look in text and display settings.
In longer sample text, the thin strokes and tight, square serifs produce a light, high-end color that favors larger sizes and high-contrast settings. Numerals and capitals match the same restrained, sharp slab language, keeping the set visually cohesive and suited to refined composition.
