A very light, slanted serif with crisp, carefully bracketed slab-like serifs and clean joins. Strokes are narrow and controlled with moderate contrast, creating an airy texture and a smooth left-to-right rhythm. Letterforms lean on classical proportions with open apertures and rounded bowls, while terminals stay sharp and understated. Numerals follow the same delicate, slightly formal construction, keeping the overall color even in mixed text.
Works well for editorial headlines, pull quotes, and refined branding where a light italic serif can provide emphasis without shouting. It also suits book jackets, fashion or culture magazines, and short to medium passages set at comfortable sizes where its delicate strokes can remain clear.
The tone is polished and literary, with a quiet sophistication that reads as editorial rather than ornamental. Its lightness and italic posture give it a poised, graceful voice suited to nuanced emphasis and cultured branding.
Likely drawn to provide an italic serif voice that balances elegance with a sturdy, slab-influenced serif treatment. The intent appears to be a versatile, readable italic for sophisticated layout work, offering a gentle, controlled texture and consistent rhythm across letters and numbers.
In the text sample, the slant and fine stroke weight produce a flowing line that feels smooth at display sizes, while the small serifs add structure without making the page feel heavy. Curves and diagonals remain consistent, giving the alphabet a cohesive, restrained personality.
