A light, italic slab-serif with gently bracketed, rounded serifs and smooth, continuous curves. Strokes stay relatively even, with subtle modulation and a calm, open rhythm in text. The italic construction leans from a calligraphic influence rather than a sharp oblique, showing soft joins, rounded terminals, and a slightly oldstyle feel in the lowercase. Numerals and capitals maintain the same understated weight and tidy proportions, producing an airy, composed texture.
Works well for editorial settings where a light, elegant italic is needed: pull quotes, introductions, captions, and book or magazine typography. It can also support refined branding and packaging—especially where a classic tone and gentle softness are desired—while remaining legible in moderate text sizes.
The overall tone is literary and understated, combining a traditional editorial voice with a mild softness that feels approachable rather than stern. Its gentle italic motion adds elegance and a sense of crafted detail, suitable for conveying thoughtful, cultivated messaging.
Likely designed to offer an italic slab-serif that balances classic, bookish conventions with softer, rounded details for a more contemporary, approachable finish. The aim appears to be a graceful reading texture with enough structure from the serifs to hold together in text.
Counters are generous and the spacing reads comfortable in continuous text, with a consistent baseline and smooth letterflow. The rounded slab serifs keep the texture stable while avoiding harsh corners, helping the face feel both structured and friendly.
