A very light italic slab serif with crisp, unbracketed terminals and a clean, even stroke rhythm. The letterforms show gently tapered curves and narrow, blade-like joins, with slab serifs that read as small, squared caps rather than heavy feet. Counters are open and rounded, curves are smooth and controlled, and the overall texture is quiet and finely drawn, with consistent spacing that produces a soft, continuous line in text.
Well suited to editorial typography where a light, cultured italic is needed—book interiors, magazine features, pull quotes, and poetry or short-form literary settings. It can also serve in refined stationery and invitations where a restrained, classic italic is preferred over script.
The font conveys a poised, literary tone—elegant and understated rather than dramatic. Its light italic posture adds a sense of motion and sophistication, while the squared serifs keep the voice disciplined and editorial.
The design appears intended to offer a graceful, readable italic with a restrained slab-serif backbone: combining the fluidity of traditional italic construction with the clarity of squared, unbracketed serifs for an orderly, contemporary finish.
In the glyph set, forms like the single-storey italic a and g and the long-tailed, calligraphic italic shapes (notably in y and f) reinforce a traditional italic construction. Numerals are similarly light and open, with simple curves and minimal ornament, matching the restrained text color.
