A very light italic slab serif with crisp, unbracketed rectangular serifs and a clean, even color. Strokes are slender and relatively uniform, with gentle diagonal stress and smooth, controlled curves in bowls and joins. Capitals are narrow and poised, while the lowercase shows a compact, readable rhythm with modest extenders and clear counters. The numerals follow the same delicate construction, keeping a consistent, understated presence in text.
Well suited to editorial layouts, book or long-form passages where a refined italic voice is desired, and for pull quotes, poetry, or front matter that benefits from a gentle forward cadence. It can also work in upscale branding and invitation-style applications where delicacy and polish are priorities.
The overall tone is cultured and literary, balancing precision with a soft, handwritten slant. Its lightness and sharp slab terminals create an elegant, slightly old-world feel that reads as formal without becoming heavy or loud.
The design appears intended to deliver a sophisticated italic slab serif that stays light on the page while retaining crisp structure and typographic authority. It prioritizes graceful rhythm and legibility in continuous text over bold display impact.
The italic angle is consistent across cases and figures, giving lines a graceful forward motion. Sharp terminals and thin joins suggest best performance at comfortable reading sizes rather than tiny, high-noise settings.
