A delicate italic slab serif with sharp, square-ended serifs and a clean, consistent stroke. The letterforms lean with a measured, calligraphic rhythm, pairing long, slightly tapered stems with smooth, rounded bowls and open apertures. Serifs read as crisp and mostly unbracketed, giving the design a precise, chiseled finish while maintaining an overall light color on the page. Proportions are balanced and traditional, with modest extenders and numerals that follow the same restrained, angled stress and simple construction.
Well suited to editorial settings where an italic voice is needed without excessive flourish—book interiors, magazine features, essays, and pull quotes. It can also serve refined branding applications where a classic, cultured tone is desired, particularly in short headlines or wordmarks that benefit from crisp slab serifs and a light typographic color.
The overall tone feels cultivated and literary, like a contemporary take on book typography with a gentle italic expressiveness. Its lightness and tidy slab details suggest quiet sophistication rather than display flamboyance, lending a composed, editorial voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a formal italic companion with slab-serif clarity—combining crisp, square serifs with an airy, readable texture for sophisticated text typography.
Capitals look stately and spacious, while the lowercase italic forms carry the texture, especially in letters with long entry/exit strokes. The numerals are elegant and unobtrusive, matching the text style and maintaining a consistent, refined rhythm in running copy.
