A very light italic slab-serif with monoline-like strokes and softly bracketed, wedgey serifs. The letterforms show a consistent rightward slant, open bowls and counters, and a measured, bookish rhythm. Curves are smoothly drawn with modest modulation at joins, and terminals tend to be slightly tapered rather than blunt, giving the face a crisp but delicate finish. Proportions are moderate with a normal x-height and comfortable spacing that keeps text from feeling cramped despite the slender weight.
Well suited for editorial typography, book and magazine settings, and other long-form contexts where a light, italic voice is desired. It also works nicely for invitations, refined branding, and pull quotes where its graceful slant and crisp serifs can add sophistication without heavy contrast.
The overall tone is literary and refined, with an understated, old-style warmth rather than a rigid, mechanical feel. Its italic flow adds a gentle expressiveness suited to thoughtful, cultured settings. The light color on the page reads calm and polished, suggesting a premium, editorial sensibility.
Likely designed to provide an italic companion with a distinctly slab-serif presence while staying light and readable. The intent appears to balance traditional text manners—open forms, steady rhythm—with a gentle, contemporary cleanliness in the stroke treatment.
Figures are slender and slightly cursive in stance, aligning well with the italic text rhythm. The design maintains clear, recognizable shapes at display sizes while keeping a nuanced, airy texture in longer lines.
