A very light italic slab serif with crisp, unbracketed rectangular serifs and smooth, gently modulated curves. Strokes remain mostly even, with subtle thinning at joins and terminals, and the letterforms lean consistently to create a steady rightward rhythm. Capitals are narrow and elegant with long, straight stems and clean slab feet, while lowercase forms show flowing construction with rounded bowls, compact apertures, and distinctive descenders. The numerals appear oldstyle, with varying heights and softly curved shapes that harmonize with the italic text color.
Well-suited to editorial typography, book or magazine text, and pull quotes where an italic voice is needed while staying highly readable. It can also serve refined branding, packaging, and invitations that benefit from a classic italic slab-seriffed texture and oldstyle numerals.
The overall tone is literary and composed—more like a finely set book face than a loud display style. Its lightness and italic movement convey sophistication and a slightly formal, editorial character without feeling ornate.
The design appears intended to offer a delicate, text-oriented italic with the structure and clarity of slab serifs, pairing classic proportions with a restrained, modern crispness. The emphasis is on smooth reading rhythm, elegant word shapes, and a cultured tone rather than display-driven impact.
Spacing reads open enough for continuous text, and the italic slant is strong but controlled, keeping word shapes stable. The slab serifs add a crisp, engraved-like finish that helps maintain definition at the ends of strokes, especially in capitals and numerals.
