A very slender italic slab serif with crisp, unbracketed rectangular serifs and smooth, calligraphic curves. Strokes stay relatively even in thickness, giving the design a clean, airy color, while terminals and joins remain sharply defined. The italics show a consistent rightward slant with narrow proportions and generous counters; capitals are tall and restrained, and the lowercase keeps a moderate x-height with long, graceful ascenders and descenders. Numerals match the letterforms with similarly light construction and sharp slab finishing.
Well suited to editorial layouts, book typography, and other long-form settings where a light italic voice is needed for emphasis, introductions, or pull quotes. It also fits elegant branding, invitations, and packaging that benefit from a classic italic flavor with crisp slab details.
The overall tone is poised and literary, combining an old-style italic warmth with a more tailored, typographic sharpness from the slab serifs. It feels refined and understated rather than loud, with a formal, editorial cadence.
Likely designed to provide a delicate italic style that remains structured and typographically firm through squared slab serifs, balancing graceful motion with clear, disciplined outlines.
Letterforms exhibit a steady rhythm in running text, with clear differentiation between round and straight structures and minimal visual noise. The italic angle is pronounced enough to read as distinctly italic in both headlines and paragraphs, and the slab serifs add a subtle architectural edge without making the texture heavy.
