This is a lightly built italic serif with crisp, unbracketed slab-like terminals and a clean, consistent stroke. Forms lean noticeably to the right and show a controlled, pen-inspired modulation without strong contrast. The serifs are flat and sharply cut, giving corners and stroke endings a precise, engineered feel that contrasts with the fluid italic skeleton. Counters are open and round, spacing is even and composed, and the overall rhythm reads smooth and continuous in text.
It performs well for editorial typography such as book interiors, magazine features, and refined long-form settings where an italic voice is desired. The crisp slab terminals also make it suitable for branding, packaging copy, and invitations that need a formal, polished look without the density of a heavier serif.
The tone is poised and literary, combining a cultured italic flourish with a restrained, modern crispness. It feels formal without being heavy, lending an understated elegance suited to thoughtful, editorial contexts.
The design appears intended to merge classic italic proportions with sharp, slab-like finishing details, creating an italic that feels both traditional and distinctly structured. It aims for clarity and elegance in continuous reading while offering a recognizable, crisp texture in display lines.
Uppercase shapes maintain a classical structure while the slab terminals add a distinctive snap at baseline and cap-height. In the sample text, the italic angle and open spacing support comfortable reading at moderate sizes, with a clear, graceful flow across words and lines.
