A very light italic slab serif with gently bracketed rectangular serifs and a consistent rightward slant. Strokes are thin with moderate contrast, and terminals stay clean and controlled rather than decorative. The proportions feel classical and slightly condensed in the vertical rhythm, with open counters and careful spacing that keeps text color light and even. Figures are similarly slender and italicized, matching the letterforms in contrast and cadence.
Works well for editorial settings such as pull quotes, introductions, captions, and refined brand lines where an italic voice is desired. It can also serve as a companion italic for longer-form typography in books or magazines, especially at comfortable reading sizes where its fine strokes remain clear.
The overall tone is poised and literary, evoking editorial typography and traditional printing. Its lightness and italics lend a graceful, understated sophistication suited to quiet emphasis rather than loud display.
Designed to provide a polished italic slab serif voice that balances traditional structure with a light, contemporary touch. The goal appears to be an elegant, readable emphasis style with consistent rhythm and restrained detailing.
Uppercase forms read structured and formal, while the lowercase introduces a more handwritten, calligraphic flow without becoming script-like. The italic angle is steady across letters and numerals, producing a cohesive rhythm in continuous text.
