A delicate italic slab serif with a clear rightward slant and fine, tapered strokes. Serifs read as small slabs with soft bracketing, giving terminals a crisp but not abrupt finish. Curves are open and smoothly drawn, with restrained contrast and a light, even color on the page. Proportions feel classical and slightly narrow in the capitals, while the lowercase shows a flowing rhythm and consistent spacing suited to continuous reading.
Best suited to editorial typography where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, introductions, pull quotes, or refined headlines. Its light texture and calm rhythm also fit book interior use at comfortable sizes, and it can add a premium, traditional tone to packaging or invitations when used with generous spacing.
The overall tone is cultured and understated, combining a traditional book typographic feel with a gentle, handwritten italic energy. It suggests formality without stiffness, giving text a polished, editorial voice.
The design appears intended to provide a workhorse italic with a classical serif structure and subtle slab terminals, balancing legibility with a more graceful, literary texture than a purely utilitarian italic.
The sample text shows good continuity across mixed-case settings, with punctuation and numerals matching the same light, angled construction. The numerals appear oldstyle in spirit, integrating smoothly with lowercase texture rather than standing apart as rigid lining figures.
