A very light italic slab serif with crisp, unbracketed serifs and a clean, linear stroke. The letterforms are narrow to moderately proportioned with generous sidebearings, giving an open rhythm despite the slanted construction. Curves are smooth and restrained, terminals are neatly cut, and the overall texture stays even and calm, with minimal modulation and sharp joins. Numerals and capitals follow the same slender, precise logic, reading as delicate but structured.
Well suited to editorial settings—magazine features, pull quotes, and refined headings—where an italic voice is desirable without becoming script-like. It can also work for book covers, cultural branding, and premium packaging that benefits from a delicate, stylish serif presence.
The tone is poised and cultured, mixing a bookish, classical sensibility with a contemporary sharpness. Its thin strokes and controlled italic movement feel elegant and intentional rather than casual, lending a quiet sophistication to text.
Likely designed to provide an elegant italic with the added structure of slab serifs, balancing crisp geometry with smooth, readable forms. The goal appears to be a distinctive, high-end typographic voice that feels modern yet grounded in traditional serif conventions.
The italic angle is consistent across cases, and the square-ended slab details add a subtle architectural firmness that keeps the design from feeling purely calligraphic. The light weight suggests best performance at moderate-to-large sizes where the fine serifs and hairline strokes can remain clear.
