A very light italic serif with crisp, unbracketed slab-like serifs and a gently calligraphic rhythm. Strokes stay fairly even, with only subtle modulation, and the italic angle is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures. Uppercase forms feel classical and slightly narrow in posture, while the lowercase shows open, readable counters and smooth joins. Terminals tend toward sharp, wedge-like cuts and squared serif attachments, giving the face a clean, precise finish despite its airy color.
Works well for editorial typography such as magazine features, book interiors, and refined pull quotes where an italic voice is needed without high contrast. It can also suit invitations and formal announcements, especially when paired with a sturdier roman or a sans for hierarchy.
The overall tone is bookish and cultivated, balancing elegance with restraint. Its lightness and steady slanted motion convey a quiet sophistication suited to editorial and literary settings rather than loud display.
Likely intended as a delicate italic with slab-serif structure: to provide an elegant, readable slanted companion that retains firmness at the baseline and terminals. The design prioritizes smooth text rhythm and a clean, modern serif connection while keeping a traditional, literary silhouette.
The numerals share the same italic stress and light color, with clear differentiation and an understated presence. Spacing appears moderately open, helping the light strokes maintain clarity in text, while the slab serifs add a subtle structural emphasis at word shapes.
