A very delicate italic slab serif with thin, even strokes and crisp, unbracketed rectangular serifs. The italic angle is consistent and creates a smooth diagonal rhythm, while curves remain clean and open with modest terminals and restrained detailing. Proportions are fairly classical, with moderate ascenders and descenders and a slightly narrow, elegant footprint in text. Numerals follow the same light, calligraphic-leaning construction, keeping the overall color airy and controlled.
Best suited to editorial typography where an elegant italic voice is needed—magazine features, book interiors for emphasis, pull quotes, and refined headlines. It can also work for branding that wants a cultured, vintage-leaning impression, especially when set at larger sizes where the hairline structure remains clear.
The tone is poised and literary, combining a bookish serif tradition with a subtle contemporary sharpness from the square slab ends. It feels refined and quiet rather than loud, suggesting careful composition and an editorial sensibility. The italic adds motion and a gentle sophistication suited to expressive emphasis.
The design appears intended to provide an italic with a recognizable slab-serif identity: crisp square serifs paired with a light, fluid rhythm for expressive setting. It aims to feel classic and literary while staying visually distinctive through its sharp serif treatment and airy texture.
In longer text the face maintains a consistent, pale typographic color; the thin joins and hairline horizontals benefit from generous size and comfortable leading. The sharp slab endings and angled stress give it a distinctive signature that reads as both classic and slightly idiosyncratic in display lines.
