A very light, right-leaning slab serif with a restrained, consistent stroke and crisp, square-ended serifs that read cleanly at the terminals. The letterforms feel drawn with a slightly calligraphic hand: curves are smooth and open, joins are tidy, and the rhythm is even without appearing mechanical. Proportions are moderate and readable, with rounded bowls and gently tapered-looking diagonals, while numerals and capitals keep the same understated, precise construction.
Well suited to editorial layouts, book typography, and magazine features where an italic voice is needed for emphasis or atmosphere. It can also serve for refined titles, pull quotes, and short-form branding or invitations when a delicate, classic impression is desired.
The overall tone is elegant and editorial, with a quiet sophistication rather than overt display. Its airy color and steady slant suggest literary refinement—suited to measured, thoughtful voice and classic publishing cues.
The design appears intended to blend italic expressiveness with slab-serif structure—delivering a light, polished text face that stays legible while adding a gentle, cultured character to reading and display settings.
In the sample text, spacing and italic flow create a continuous, cursive-like texture while remaining clearly a serif design. The crisp slab terminals provide a subtle structural backbone, helping the light weight keep definition in longer lines.
