A very light italic serif with slab-like, square-cut terminals that read as crisp and unbracketed. Strokes are even and clean, with only subtle modulation, producing a calm rhythm and generous white space. Proportions are balanced with a moderate x-height, open counters, and slightly tapered joins that keep the texture from feeling mechanical. Numerals and capitals maintain the same delicate, consistent color, and the italic angle is steady across the set.
Works well for editorial layouts, book and magazine typography, and other long-form reading where an italic voice is needed without heavy emphasis. It can also serve in refined branding, menus, or invitations where a light, classic italic texture adds sophistication.
The overall tone is literary and composed, suggesting traditional print typography with a modern, pared-back delicacy. It feels formal without being ornate, with a quiet confidence that suits editorial and academic settings.
Likely designed to provide a restrained, highly legible italic with slab-like certainty at the terminals, balancing traditional serif cues with a clean, contemporary finish for text and display applications.
The slabby finishing gives straight strokes a decisive end while the thin weight keeps the page color light. Curves remain smooth and rounded, and the italic construction reads as true italic rather than a simple slant, helping longer text look fluid.
