A very light italic slab serif with unbracketed, rectangular serifs that read crisp and planar at the stroke ends. The letterforms are wide and generously spaced, with smooth curves, open counters, and a consistent rightward slant. Strokes are clean and even in feeling, with subtle modulation and a polished, print-oriented finish; terminals and joins stay sharp rather than soft or bulbous. Numerals follow the same slender, elegant construction, maintaining the italic rhythm and the slabbed endpoints.
This font works well for editorial settings such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, and refined titling where an italic voice is desired without losing serif authority. It can also serve for short passages or product/packaging copy at comfortable sizes, especially in layouts that benefit from an open, airy typographic color.
The overall tone is literary and editorial—quietly elegant rather than loud, with a measured, classic sensibility. Its lightness and italic posture add a poised, slightly formal flavor that feels suited to cultivated, text-forward communication.
The design appears intended to blend the clarity and structure of a slab serif with the graceful momentum of an italic, producing a refined display/text companion for editorial typography. The wide proportions and crisp, unbracketed serifs suggest an emphasis on clean reproduction and a cultivated, contemporary-classic reading experience.
The wide set and delicate strokes create a spacious texture that favors larger sizes and airy compositions. The slab serifs provide a clear baseline and edge definition, helping the italic forms retain structure and readability despite the thin weight.
