A very delicate, italic slab-serif with hairline strokes and gently bracketed serifs. The letterforms are broad and open, with generous sidebearings and a calm horizontal rhythm that reads smoothly in text. Curves are clean and controlled, counters are roomy, and terminals feel lightly finished rather than abrupt. The italic construction introduces a consistent forward slant and subtle stroke modulation, keeping the overall texture even and restrained.
Well suited to editorial typography where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, introductions, or refined display text. It can work effectively in magazines, book interiors, and pull quotes at comfortable sizes, and it also fits understated branding or packaging that benefits from a light, classic italic slab-serif tone.
The font conveys a quiet, cultivated tone—more literary and editorial than industrial. Its lightness and careful spacing give it an airy, graceful presence, while the slab serifs add a subtle sense of tradition and formality without becoming heavy or loud.
The design appears intended as a polished, contemporary take on an italic slab-serif: maintaining traditional serif cues while prioritizing lightness, openness, and an even text rhythm. It aims to provide a tasteful, expressive italic that remains readable and composed across longer lines.
Uppercase forms stay composed and legible, while the lowercase brings a softer, more cursive flavor typical of italics, creating a gentle hierarchy in mixed-case settings. Numerals appear similarly slender and poised, matching the font’s refined text color and understated personality.
