A very light italic serif with crisp, square-ended slab serifs and clean, unbracketed joins. Strokes are slender with noticeable contrast, and curves are drawn with a smooth, controlled tension that keeps counters open. Proportions skew tall and narrow with a generous x-height, giving lowercase forms a prominent presence. The italic is moderately steep and consistent, with sharp terminals and a tidy baseline rhythm; numerals and capitals keep the same airy, hairline construction and slightly squarish rounding.
Well suited to editorial settings such as magazines, essays, and book interiors where an italic voice is needed with a light, upscale texture. It can also work effectively for pull quotes, short headlines, and brand applications that benefit from a refined, italic serif presence without heavy weight.
The overall tone is refined and literary, balancing an elegant italic gesture with a precise, almost engineered slab finish. It reads as quiet and sophisticated rather than expressive or decorative, suggesting an editorial voice with a contemporary edge.
The design appears intended to offer a polished italic companion with slab-like, square serifs—combining classical italic flow with a crisp, modern finish. Its tall proportions and open construction support continuous reading while keeping the page color light and elegant.
Capitals are slender and formal, while lowercase forms maintain clarity through open apertures and restrained detailing. The figures are light and streamlined, matching the text color closely and keeping long strings of type visually even.
