A delicate italic slab serif with crisp, unbracketed rectangular serifs and a very even, low-contrast stroke. The letterforms are narrow-to-moderate in proportion with a steady rightward slant and smooth, calligraphic-like curvature in bowls and joins, but rendered with precise, squared terminals. Counters stay fairly open and the overall rhythm is airy, with light stems, gently rounded curves, and a consistent serif treatment across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Works well for editorial typography, book interiors, and longer passages where a light, italic voice is desired without high-contrast sharpness. It also suits pull quotes, epigraphs, invitations, and branding systems that want a classic italic slab-serif accent in display sizes or carefully spaced text.
The tone feels literary and quietly sophisticated, blending editorial elegance with a subtle typewriter-like crispness from the square serifs. Its lightness and italic posture give it a contemplative, slightly old-world flavor suited to refined, text-forward settings.
Likely designed to provide an italic slab-serif option that stays graceful and readable, emphasizing even texture, crisp serif geometry, and a calm typographic presence rather than showy contrast.
Capitals read clean and restrained, while the lowercase shows more personality through flowing entry/exit strokes and softly shaped bowls. Numerals appear similarly slender and understated, matching the overall light color and consistent serif cadence.
