A very slender italic slab serif with a broad, open set and long, flowing curves. Strokes maintain an even, delicate thickness with minimal modulation, while the serifs read as small, crisp slabs that attach squarely and stay restrained in size. Capitals are narrow and poised with extended diagonals and sharp terminals; lowercase shows smooth, continuous movement with a moderate x-height, generous apertures, and a light, spacious rhythm. Numerals follow the same refined slant and thin construction, keeping the overall texture bright and uncluttered.
Well-suited to editorial settings where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, pull quotes, or refined display text. It can also serve in invitations, literary branding, and packaging that benefits from a delicate, upscale italic presence, especially at larger sizes where its fine strokes can breathe.
The tone is cultivated and graceful, suggesting editorial sophistication and a classical, bookish sensibility. Its light, slanted presence feels courteous and formal rather than loud, lending an understated, high-end character to text.
Likely designed to provide an elegant italic slab serif option that blends calligraphic motion with crisp, squared serif endings. The emphasis appears to be on lightness, openness, and a smooth reading rhythm rather than dense text color or heavy impact.
The spacing and proportions create a noticeably airy color on the page, with the italic angle and long entry/exit strokes contributing to a continuous, cursive-like flow. The slab details remain subtle, acting as crisp punctuation at stroke ends rather than heavy anchors.
