A very light, monoline slab serif with unbracketed, rectangular serifs and a consistent, gently right-leaning italic skeleton. Proportions are relatively wide with generous sidebearings and open counters, giving the design an airy rhythm. Strokes stay even throughout with crisp terminals; curves remain smooth and controlled, while the slab feet and tops add a quiet, structured baseline and cap-line presence. Numerals follow the same light, slightly slanted construction, reading cleanly with ample interior space.
Works well for editorial applications where an italic voice is needed across longer passages—book typography, magazine features, and refined pull quotes. The open spacing and light color also suit captions and secondary text in spacious layouts, as well as understated branding where a calm, classic tone is preferred.
The overall tone feels literary and composed—more elegant than assertive—evoking editorial italics and classical book typography. Its lightness and steady slant suggest a thoughtful, cultivated voice suited to nuanced emphasis rather than loud display.
The font appears intended to deliver a gentle italic presence with structured slab-serif stability, prioritizing readability and an even typographic color over dramatic contrast or sharp calligraphic modulation.
The design maintains a consistent italic angle across caps, lowercase, and figures, with a restrained, mechanical sharpness in the slab serifs that keeps the texture orderly. The wide set and light color benefit from comfortable spacing, especially in continuous text.
