A very light italic slab serif with crisp, unbracketed rectangular serifs and a clean, even rhythm. The design shows low stroke contrast with gently tapered joins and smooth, calligraphic curves, while maintaining a disciplined, typographic structure. Proportions are balanced with a moderate x-height, open counters, and slightly wide apertures; capitals feel elegant and steady, and the figures follow the same slender, italicized cadence. Overall spacing reads airy and orderly, giving the letterforms room to breathe in text.
Best suited to editorial typography such as books, magazines, and article layouts where an italic voice is needed without sacrificing clarity. It works well for pull quotes, intros, captions, and subheads that benefit from a refined, continuous rhythm, and can also serve branding or packaging when a classic yet crisp italic slab tone is desired.
The tone is literary and editorial, combining a classic italic voice with a cool, contemporary crispness from the square slabs. It feels thoughtful and composed rather than decorative, lending a quiet sophistication that suits long-form reading and curated presentation.
The design appears intended to provide an elegant italic companion with slab-serif authority—maintaining a delicate, readable texture while adding distinctive, square-ended terminals for a sharper editorial presence.
The italic slant is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, with clear entry/exit strokes that keep words flowing. The slab serifs add firm endpoints without making the texture heavy, so the face retains a light, refined color on the page.
