A delicate italic slab serif with crisp, square-ended serifs and a smooth, even stroke that stays consistently light across the alphabet. The letterforms show a calligraphic slant and gently modulated curves, with open counters and slightly tapered terminals that keep the texture airy in text. Uppercase proportions feel traditional and restrained, while the lowercase brings more personality through softly curved shoulders, a single-storey “g,” and an italic “f” with a long, flowing top. Figures are slim and oldstyle-leaning in demeanor, maintaining the same light, clean serif treatment for a cohesive rhythm.
Well-suited to editorial typography where a light italic voice is needed, such as book and magazine settings, pull quotes, introductions, and refined titling. It also fits formal printed materials—programs, invitations, and cultural branding—where an elegant serif italic can carry tone without heavy visual weight.
The overall tone is cultivated and literary—polished without being loud. Its lightness and italic cadence suggest elegance and discretion, evoking editorial and classical references rather than a rugged, industrial slab voice.
The design appears intended to merge an italic, calligraphic flow with the sturdier visual cue of slab serifs, creating an elegant italic that still reads as structured and typographically traditional. It prioritizes a calm, refined texture and classic proportions for literary and editorial contexts.
Serifs remain consistently squared and unbracketed, helping maintain clarity at larger sizes while keeping a slightly formal, print-oriented presence. Spacing appears comfortable and even, producing a calm line when set in paragraphs.
