A very slender italic slab-serif with crisp, unbracketed terminals and a clean, even rhythm. Strokes stay delicate throughout, with only subtle thick–thin modulation, giving the design a lightly drawn, airy color on the page. Serifs read as small, flat slabs that meet stems squarely, while curves remain smooth and open; the overall construction favors clarity over ornament. Proportions feel balanced and readable, with a moderately sized x-height and generous spacing that keeps lines from looking dense in text.
Works well for editorial typography—magazine articles, book interiors, and long-form reading where an italic voice is needed without becoming decorative. It also suits pull quotes, captions, and refined titling where a light, crisp italic slab-serif can add emphasis while staying controlled.
The tone is cultivated and literary, with an understated elegance more reminiscent of bookish italics than calligraphic flourish. Its thin presence and crisp slab details lend a quiet, composed authority suited to refined settings rather than loud display.
The design appears intended as a sophisticated italic companion with slab-serif firmness, prioritizing a calm reading rhythm and clean structure over dramatic contrast or expressive swashes. It aims to deliver a recognizable italic emphasis that remains understated and typographically traditional.
The italic angle is consistent across capitals and lowercase, producing a cohesive forward motion in running text. Numerals are similarly light and open, matching the text color and maintaining the same restrained, structured serif treatment.
