A very light italic slab serif with crisp, square-ended (unbracketed) serifs and a clean, controlled stroke. Letterforms are gently tapered and slightly calligraphic in feel, with restrained modulation and an even rhythm across words. Uppercase proportions are classical and open, while the lowercase shows a flowing italic construction with compact joins, a single-storey a, and a long, elegant f; numerals are slender and consistent in color with the text. Overall spacing feels measured and the texture stays light and breathable at text sizes.
Works well for editorial typography such as magazines, book interiors, and pull quotes where a light, elegant italic voice is desired. It can also suit refined packaging or identity accents when used at sufficiently large sizes to preserve its delicate details.
The tone is literary and composed, with an understated elegance that reads as traditional without feeling heavy. Its italic slant and sharp serifs add a sense of motion and formality suited to thoughtful, curated typography.
The design appears intended to blend classic italic writing energy with crisp, slab-serif terminals, creating a distinctive italic voice that remains orderly and readable. It aims for a light, cultured texture appropriate for sophisticated text and display settings.
The unbracketed slab serifs give corners a squared, engineered finish, but the italic drawing keeps the overall impression graceful rather than rigid. The light weight emphasizes negative space, producing a delicate page color and a slightly high-end, print-oriented character.
