A very delicate italic slab serif with long, gently tapered strokes and crisp, square-ended serifs that read as thin “tabs” rather than wedges. The forms are narrow and open, with smooth, continuous curves and a consistent, even rhythm across the alphabet. Ascenders are tall and slim, counters stay generous (notably in C, O, Q, and e), and terminals finish cleanly with minimal flourish. Figures are similarly light and upright-leaning, keeping an elegant, understated texture in running text.
Best suited to editorial typography such as pull quotes, subheads, intros, and short-to-medium passages where a light, elegant voice is desired. It can also work well for premium packaging, cultural branding, and invitations that benefit from a classic italic texture and crisp slab accents. For body copy, it will favor larger sizes and comfortable spacing to preserve its fine details.
The overall tone is quiet and literary—more intimate than assertive—suggesting careful craft and a traditional sensibility. Its light touch and steady slant feel cultured and slightly nostalgic, suited to editorial settings where nuance and refinement matter more than impact.
The design appears intended to blend the clarity of slab serifs with an italic, calligraphic flow, creating a distinctive yet readable text face. Its restrained contrast and crisp serif treatment aim for a refined, vintage-leaning color on the page without heavy emphasis.
The italic construction is pronounced but controlled, with moderate slant and stable baselines in text. Capital shapes feel slightly more formal and spacious, while lowercase letters carry most of the flow, producing a graceful cadence without becoming script-like.
