A very light italic serif with crisp, square-ended slab-like serifs and clean joins. Strokes stay relatively even with minimal contrast, and the slanted construction gives a consistent forward rhythm across both capitals and lowercase. Proportions are moderately narrow with generous counters and open apertures, keeping the texture airy at text sizes. Letterforms lean on simple, uncluttered geometry—single-storey a and g, a compact e, and a long, descending f—while the numerals are similarly spare and lining in feel.
Works well for editorial typography such as magazine features, book interiors, forewords, and pull quotes where an italic is needed without heavy contrast. It can also serve refined branding, invitations, or packaging that benefits from a light, structured italic voice, and it remains legible for longer passages when set with comfortable leading.
The overall tone is refined and literary, balancing a formal italic voice with a quietly modern crispness from the square serifs. It feels poised and articulate rather than decorative, suggesting a cultured, editorial sensibility.
Likely designed to provide a clean, legible italic with slab-like structure—an italic that carries traditional formality while maintaining a light, contemporary page color. The emphasis appears to be on clarity, even rhythm, and understated sophistication in continuous text.
Spacing appears measured and even, producing a smooth, continuous line in the text sample without dark spots. The italic angle is steady and not overly steep, and the serifs read as small, sharp accents that add structure without adding weight.
