A light, italic slab-serif with crisp, unbracketed serifs and a steady, even rhythm. The letterforms lean noticeably, with narrow joints and smooth curves that stay clean at joins and terminals. Proportions feel vertically extended with a tall lowercase presence and generous ascenders/descenders, while counters remain open and readable. Serifs are flat and squared, adding structure without heaviness, and the overall texture stays airy and consistent across upper- and lowercase as well as numerals.
Well suited to editorial typography such as magazines, essays, and book interiors where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, introductions, or pull quotes. It can also support elegant packaging copy and cultural or academic communications that benefit from a traditional, serifed tone.
The tone is bookish and cultivated, evoking traditional print typography with a gentle, elegant slant. Its calm color and measured detailing suggest an editorial voice—polished, articulate, and slightly formal rather than loud or decorative.
Likely designed to provide a graceful italic companion with the stability of slab serifs—balancing readability, a composed text texture, and a distinctly literary character for continuous reading and typographic hierarchy.
The italic construction reads as a true italic rather than a simple mechanical slant, with flowing bowls and a more calligraphic cadence in letters like a, f, g, and y. Numerals follow the same refined, lightly structured style, maintaining clarity without drawing attention away from text.
