A lightly built italic slab serif with gently bracketed, rectangular serifs and smooth, continuous curves. Strokes keep an even rhythm with subtle modulation rather than sharp contrast, and the italic angle feels steady and consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures. Proportions are slightly narrow in many letters, with open apertures and generous internal space that help the design stay clear despite the fine weight. The numerals are oldstyle-leaning in feel, with flowing shapes and soft entry/exit terminals that match the text italics.
Well suited to editorial typography, book interiors, and magazine features where a refined italic is needed for emphasis, pull quotes, or leads. It can also support tasteful branding and packaging that benefits from a classic, cultured voice without heavy ornament.
The overall tone is polished and bookish, with a quiet sophistication that reads as editorial rather than loud or decorative. Its italic gives a gentle sense of motion and emphasis, while the slab serifs add a grounded, dependable character.
The design appears intended as a dependable, readable italic slab serif for continuous text, balancing traditional serif structure with a light, contemporary touch. Its consistent slant and controlled detailing suggest a focus on smooth text color and comfortable long-form reading.
Capitals show restrained, classical construction with rounded joins and measured spacing, while the lowercase maintains a smooth cursive-like flow without becoming script. The ‘g’ and ‘y’ use expressive descenders that add texture in text, and the figures keep a coherent, literary flavor suited to running copy.
