A very light italic slab serif with crisp, square-ended unbracketed serifs and smooth, gently tapered curves. Strokes stay largely even, keeping contrast low, while the italic slant and slightly calligraphic rhythm give the forms a fluid baseline movement. Counters are open and airy, terminals are clean and controlled, and spacing feels measured, producing a composed texture in paragraphs. Numerals follow the same delicate construction with clear, readable shapes suited to continuous text.
Well suited to long-form editorial settings such as books, essays, and magazine features where an italic voice is used extensively for emphasis, pull quotes, or section intros. It can also work for premium packaging and brand copy that benefits from a delicate, composed serif texture, provided sizes and contrast with the background support its light weight.
The overall tone is literary and editorial, balancing classic bookish manners with a slightly contemporary, minimalist lightness. Its slanted posture adds a quiet elegance and a sense of motion without becoming flashy, giving text a refined, thoughtful voice.
The font appears designed to deliver an italic-first reading experience with the stability of slab serifs, aiming for a refined text color that stays crisp and structured while still feeling lively and expressive in running copy.
The design leans on slender serifs and generous interior space for clarity, and it maintains a consistent, disciplined cadence across uppercase, lowercase, and figures. The italic angle reads as purposeful rather than decorative, making it feel like a primary style rather than an auxiliary oblique.
