A very light italic serif with an airy, open texture and a gently right-leaning rhythm. Strokes are smooth and even, with minimal modulation, and the serifs read as crisp, squared terminals that land cleanly on stems and horizontals. Capitals feel expansive with generous sidebearings, while lowercase shows a steady baseline with softly rounded bowls and narrow joins. Overall spacing is comfortable rather than tight, giving lines a calm, flowing cadence in text.
Well-suited to editorial typography, pull quotes, and literary settings where an italic voice is needed without heavy emphasis. It can work for book interiors, magazine features, and refined brand copy when set at comfortable sizes with ample leading to preserve its delicate stroke presence.
The tone is polished and literary, balancing a bookish classicism with a modern lightness. Its italic posture feels more elegant than energetic, suggesting understated sophistication rather than display drama.
Designed to provide an elegant italic companion that stays legible and composed at text sizes, using crisp slab-like serifs and open forms to maintain clarity while delivering a distinctly classic, cultured voice.
Several forms emphasize clarity through openness—round letters stay spacious inside, and diagonals maintain a clean, unbroken sweep. Numerals follow the same light, slightly calligraphic italic logic, contributing to a consistent, refined color across mixed text.
