A very slender italic serif with a smooth, calligraphic rhythm and generous sidebearings that create an open, airy texture. Serifs read as crisp and slab-like, attaching cleanly to strokes with little to no bracketing, while terminals stay sharp and controlled. Curves are round and gently tensioned, diagonals are clean, and the overall drawing feels consistent and disciplined, producing a clear, spacious line in running text.
Works well for editorial typography, book and magazine layouts, and refined brand materials where an italic voice is needed without heavy emphasis. It is particularly effective for pull quotes, intros, captions, and elegant short-form settings where its airy spacing and crisp serif detail can remain legible.
The tone is poised and literary, with an understated sophistication that suggests editorial polish rather than display exuberance. Its italic slant and delicate stroke presence give it a graceful, slightly formal voice that feels suited to cultured, classic contexts.
Designed to deliver a clean, elegant italic with slab-like finishing, balancing classic serif cues with a restrained, modern crispness. The goal appears to be a refined text companion that adds emphasis and sophistication while keeping a light, uncluttered page color.
In the samples, the font maintains an even color without strong stroke modulation, relying on spacing and crisp serifs for definition. Numerals appear similarly light and slanted, aligning with the text’s refined, unobtrusive presence.
