A slender italic slab serif with crisp, square-ended serifs and a consistent, low-contrast stroke. The letterforms show a gentle rightward slant and a steady rhythm, with open counters and smooth, rounded curves in bowls and terminals. Serifs read as clean, unbracketed blocks that give the face a firm baseline presence despite the light strokes. Proportions feel traditionally text-oriented, with moderately compact capitals and a regular, readable lowercase structure.
This style fits well in editorial settings such as magazines, essays, and book typography where an italic voice is needed without losing structure. It also works for literary or academic titles, pull quotes, and refined packaging or identity accents that benefit from a crisp slab serif footprint.
The overall tone is polished and literary, combining the seriousness of a slab serif with the forward motion of italics. It feels composed and editorial rather than playful, lending a quiet formality that suits thoughtful, text-forward design.
The design appears intended to provide an italic companion with clear, print-friendly forms—maintaining a traditional serif discipline while adding emphasis and momentum. The light stroke and clean slab serifs suggest a focus on elegance and clarity rather than heavy impact.
The italic construction is evident in both the grid and the longer sample, where word shapes remain even and calm. Numerals match the restrained, classic feel, staying simple and legible with the same crisp serif treatment.
