A very light italic slab serif with unbracketed, rectangular serifs and crisp terminals. The letterforms lean gently with a smooth, even rhythm, combining narrow hairline strokes with firm slab endings that stay sharply squared. Proportions feel generous and open, with clear counters and restrained shaping; capitals are clean and stately, while the lowercase keeps a straightforward, bookish construction. Numerals are similarly delicate and slightly calligraphic in flow, matching the italic cadence without becoming ornate.
Works well for editorial typography, book and magazine settings, pull quotes, and cultured branding where an italic voice is desired without sacrificing clarity. It can also suit invitations and formal announcements that benefit from a refined, traditional italic with crisp slab detail.
The overall tone is cultured and understated, suggesting editorial polish and a quiet sense of tradition. It reads as poised and literary rather than loud, with a refined, almost formal cadence that suits thoughtful, text-forward settings.
Likely designed to provide an italic slab-serif option that feels elegant and readable, balancing delicate stroke weight with assertive, squared serifs to keep the page color controlled and the texture consistent.
The slab serifs add a structured, engraved-like finish to an otherwise delicate italic, creating a distinctive contrast between light strokes and emphatic serif blocks. Spacing appears even and measured in the sample text, supporting longer reading while maintaining a stylish slant.
