A lightly built, right-leaning slab serif with crisp, unbracketed terminals and a steady, low-contrast stroke. The letterforms are wide-set with generous internal space, producing open counters and a relaxed horizontal rhythm. Serifs read as compact slabs that remain clean and squared rather than tapered, while curves stay smooth and evenly weighted. Numerals follow the same oblique posture and light texture, keeping the overall color consistent in text.
Well suited to editorial typography such as magazine features, book interiors, and refined pull quotes where an italic voice is needed with more structure than a typical oldstyle italic. It can also serve in branding and packaging that wants a literate, composed tone, and in short display lines where the wide rhythm and slab finish can be appreciated.
The tone is polished and editorial, combining a classic italic cadence with a measured, contemporary crispness. Its wide, airy spacing and calm stroke give it an elegant, literary feel without becoming ornate or fussy.
The design appears intended to blend the forward emphasis of an italic with the stabilizing presence of slab serifs, yielding an elegant but controlled texture. Its wide proportions and open shapes suggest a focus on comfortable reading and clear, confident emphasis in running text.
The italic construction emphasizes forward motion and readability through clear entry/exit strokes and stable proportions, while the squared slab serifs add a subtle firmness at the baseline and cap line. The overall texture stays even, making it feel composed in continuous reading.
