A very light, italic serif with bracketed, slab-leaning terminals and a smooth, continuous cursive axis. Strokes are slender and even, with minimal contrast and softly rounded joins that keep counters open and shapes calm. Serifs read as small, squarish anchors rather than sharp wedges, giving the letterforms a quietly structured baseline rhythm despite the pronounced slant. The overall texture is airy and spacious, with moderate proportions and tidy, consistent curves across caps, lowercase, and figures.
Well-suited to editorial typography, book interiors, and magazine features where a light italic voice is needed for emphasis or tone. It also fits pull quotes, introductions, and refined brand copy on packaging or invitations where a quiet, cultivated serif presence is desired.
The font conveys a polished, literary tone—elegant without feeling precious. Its lightness and italic movement suggest sophistication and commentary, while the restrained detailing keeps it composed and contemporary enough for practical use.
Designed to offer a workhorse italic with a subtle slab-like stability: graceful in motion, restrained in detail, and light enough to add emphasis without overpowering surrounding text.
Uppercase forms feel stately and slightly formal, while the lowercase introduces a more handwritten flow through single-storey shapes and gently curled terminals. Numerals and punctuation maintain the same delicate weight and italic cadence, supporting continuous text without sudden stylistic shifts.
