A lightly built italic slab serif with crisp, unbracketed serifs and a steady, even color. The letterforms show a gentle calligraphic influence: strokes taper subtly, curves feel slightly angled, and terminals resolve in clean wedges or flat slabs rather than rounded finishes. Proportions are relatively tall with a generous x-height and long ascenders/descenders, while spacing is open enough to keep the texture airy. Numerals and capitals maintain the same italic rhythm, with consistent serif treatment and a smooth, controlled slant across the set.
This style suits editorial typography where an italic voice is needed but still must hold up in continuous reading—books, magazines, essays, and pull-quote systems. It also works well for captions and secondary text in layouts that want a crisp, literate tone without resorting to high-contrast italics.
The overall tone is bookish and composed, pairing a classical italic elegance with a practical, matter-of-fact slab-serif backbone. It reads as thoughtful and slightly formal, with an academic or literary flavor rather than a loud display attitude.
The font appears designed to provide a readable, text-oriented italic with clear slab-serif structure—bringing emphasis and nuance while keeping a stable, contemporary rhythm on the page.
The design’s distinguishing feature is the contrast between its delicate stroke weight and its firm, square-ended serif structures, which creates a crisp page presence without feeling heavy. The italic construction is consistent and disciplined, supporting fluent word shapes and a calm reading rhythm.
